Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of context-dependency in plant response to inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi
Jason D. Hoeksema,V. Bala Chaudhary,Catherine A. Gehring,Nancy Collins Johnson,Justine Karst,Roger T. Koide,Anne Pringle,Catherine A. Zabinski,James D. Bever,John C. Moore,Gail W. T. Wilson,John N. Klironomos,James Umbanhowar +12 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fern community assembly: the roles of chance and the environment at local and intermediate scales
TL;DR: Patterns of fern distribution in this locality are not consistent with purely neutral or random models of species coexistence, but this outcome supports the relevance of developing theory that considers the joint effects of environmental determinism and dispersal on the distribution and abun- dance of plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Home-field advantage? evidence of local adaptation among plants, soil, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi through meta-analysis
Megan A. Rúa,Megan A. Rúa,Anita J. Antoninka,Pedro M. Antunes,V. Bala Chaudhary,Catherine A. Gehring,Louis J. Lamit,Bridget J. Piculell,James D. Bever,Catherine A. Zabinski,James F. Meadow,Marc J. Lajeunesse,Brook G. Milligan,Justine Karst,Jason D. Hoeksema +14 more
TL;DR: The potential to detect local adaptation for mycorrhizal relationships across a broad swath of the literature is underscored, suggesting that local adaptation represents a powerful factor for the establishment of novel combinations of fungi, plants, and soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mutualism-parasitism continuum in ectomycorrhizas: a quantitative assessment using meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the variation in ectomycorrhizal fungi perceived by the host may be of a discrete (presence/absence) rather than continuous nature (variation in identity or abundance of ectomy corollary fungi).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: MycoDB as mentioned in this paper is a database of 4,010 studies from 438 unique publications to aid in multi-factor meta-analyses elucidating the ecological and evolutionary context in which mycorrhizal fungi alter plant productivity.
