A trait-based framework to understand life history of mycorrhizal fungi
Despite the growing appreciation for the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi, our understanding of the causes and consequences of this diversity is still poor. In this …

Suppression of the activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi by the soil microbiota
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonise roots of most plants; their extra-radical
mycelium (ERM) extends into the soil and acquires nutrients for the plant. The ERM coexists …
