TL;DR: Univariate analyses supported the hypothesis that plant response is most positive when plants are P-limited rather than N-limited when the soil community was more complex, and emphasize that mycorrhizal function depends on both abiotic and biotic context.

TL;DR: Little support is found for the hypothesis that there is a strong dependence of ecosystem function on the full complement of diversity within sites, and the conservation community should take a cautious view of endorsing this linkage as a model to promote conservation goals.

TL;DR: The degree to which introductions of mycorrhizal fungi may lead to unintended negative, and potentially costly, consequences is assessed and appropriate management guidelines are made and top priority research needs are highlighted.

TL;DR: In reciprocally designed experiments, the relative gene flow rate of hosts versus parasites was the strongest predictor of local adaptation, with significant parasite local adaptation only in the studies in which parasites had greater gene flow rates than their hosts.

TL;DR: A biological market approach is adopted to present a model for the evolution of resource exchange mutualisms, using the relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as an example, and shows that two species ought to specialize in the acquisition of one resource and trade for a second resource as long as each species perceives different relative acquisition costs for the two resources.
