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 …

Succession has been a focus of extensive ecological study for well over a century. Despite
this sustained interest, succession remains a central theme in ecological research and is …

A definitive guide to the depth and breadth of the ecological sciences, revised and updated
The revised and updated fifth edition of Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems–now in full …

Ecological succession–how biological communities re‐assemble and change over time
following natural or anthropogenic disturbance–has been studied since the birth of ecology …

High variability in plant‐growth response to the presence of different mycorrhizal fungi can
be a major determinant of local plant species diversity. Multiple species of arbuscular …

Almost all natural plant communities contain arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We
hypothesized that the species composition of AMF communities could have the potential to …

It has been noted previously that nutrient‐stressed plants generally release more soluble
carbohydrate in root exudates and consequently support more mycorrhizae than plants …

This book provides an introductory text in ecology aimed at undergraduate students and is
divided into sections entitled: introduction; conditions and resources; individuals …

One of the most important areas in ecology is to elucidate the factors that drive succession in
ecosystems and thus influence the diversity of species in natural vegetation. Significant …

1 In laboratory microcosm experiments, co-occurring plant species were found to support
very different rates of sporulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These differences …
