Mycorrhiza: ecological implications of plant interactions

  • Chapter
Concepts in Mycorrhizal Research

Part of the book series: Handbook of Vegetation Science ((HAVS,volume 19/2))

Abstract

Mycorrhizal researchers have emphasized autecological studies. Plants benefit from the mycorrhizal condition by improved nutrient uptake, water relations and enhanced plant survival due to a decrease in environmentally-induced stress. Various mechanisms account for these responses including the advantageous spatial distribution of hyphae, differing uptake kinetics and access to nutrients less available to plants alone. On a broader scale, these mycorrhizal effects also alter plant-plant interactions. Here, we address the role of mycorrhiza in mediating plant competition, as well as beneficial plant-plant interactions, which both have potential significance at the community level. Herbivores and edaphic factors unrelated to nutrition, including allelochemicals and other microorganisms, may affect the outcome of these interactions. The examples we present demonstrate the complex nature of the synecological interactions.
