In most cases, both roots and mycorrhizal fungi are needed for plant nutrient foraging.
Frequently, the colonization of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi seems to be …

[KNIHA][B] Applications of physiological ecology to forest management

JJ Landsberg, ST Gower - 1997 - books.google.com
Forest management is a complex process that now incorporates information obtained from
many sources. It is increasingly obvious that the physiological status of the trees in a forest …

An arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculum enhances root proliferation in, but not nitrogen capture from, nutrient-rich patches in soil

A Hodge, D Robinson, AH Fitter - The New Phytologist, 2000 - cambridge.org
Most work on root proliferation to a localized nutrient supply has ignored the possible role of
mycorrhizal fungi, despite their key role in nutrient acquisition. Interactions between roots of …

The effects of agricultural practices on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

J Jansa, A Wiemken, E Frossard - Geological Society, London …, 2006 - lyellcollection.org
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic associations with the majority of land
plants, including many important agricultural crops. These fungi facilitate plant nutrient …

A large ephemeral release of nitrogen upon wetting of dry soil and corresponding root responses in the field

M Cui, MM Caldwell - Plant and Soil, 1997 - Springer
To assess changes in soil nutrients, root growth and mycrorrhizal infection in response to
rain events, a water pulse was applied to a very dry soil. Wetting of a dry soil in the Great …

The responses of seven co‐occurring woodland herbaceous perennials to localized nutrient‐rich patches

RA Farley, AH Fitter - Journal of Ecology, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 Nutrient‐rich patches can occur in soils at a wide range of spatial and temporal
scales. Differences in the root proliferation response between species may be due to …

Integrating resource heterogeneity and plant plasticity: modelling nitrate and phosphate uptake in a patchy soil environment

RB Jackson, MM Caldwell - Journal of Ecology, 1996 - JSTOR
1 We used the Barber-Cushman model of nutrient uptake to simulate the importance of soil
heterogeneity and root plasticity for nitrate (NO-3) and phosphate (P) uptake. Model inputs …

Fruit production and quality of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are affected by green compost and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

A Copetta, L Bardi, E Bertolone, G Berta - Plant biosystems, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Green compost, produced from green wastes, is characterized by high quality standards.
The influence of soil amendment with green compost and with an arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Plant nitrogen capture from organic matter as affected by spatial dispersion, interspecific competition and mycorrhizal colonization

A Hodge - New Phytologist, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The capture of nitrogen (N) by plants from N‐rich complex organic material differing in
spatial (uniform dispersion or discrete patches) heterogeneity was measured, as well as the …

Occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a phosphorus‐poor wetland and mycorrhizal response to phosphorus fertilization

WK Cornwell, BL Bedford… - American Journal of …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
The presence of arbuscular mycorrhizas in fens has received little attention, but because fen
plants are often phosphorus limited, the plant–fungus interaction could be an important …
