Microbial inoculants containing arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are potential tools in
increasing the sustainability of our food production systems. Given the demand for sustainable …

Prunella vulgaris was inoculated with different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and
grown at two concentrations of CO 2 (ambient, 350 μl l −1 , and elevated, 600 μl l −1 ) to test …

It is often thought that the coexistence of plants and plant diversity is determined by resource
heterogeneity of the abiotic environment. However, the presence and heterogeneity of …

Plant roots are inadequate tools for the absorption of water and nutrients. Even the finest
root hairs are often too thick, and especially too short, to effectively get hold of every trace of …

By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …

Almost all land plants, including most trees, shrubs, and herbs, form symbiotic associations
with mycorrhizal fungi ( 1 ). These soil fungi acquire nutrients that they transfer to their plant …

Results from pot and microcosm studies in the greenhouse have shown that plant growth
and foliar chemistry is altered by the presence and species composition of arbuscular …

Ecosystem carbon cycling depends strongly on the productivity of plant species and the
decomposition rates of the litter they produce. We tested the hypothesis that classifying plant …

Intensief gebruikt grasland is rijk aan plantenmassa, maar arm aan plantensoorten. Bij het
herstel van deze graslanden wordt gestreefd naar een verhoogde aanwezigheid van relatief …
