Papers
Nitrogen enrichment alters mycorrhizal allocation at five mesic to semiarid grasslands
Nancy Collins Johnson,Diane L. Rowland,Lea Corkidi,Louise M. Egerton-Warburton,Edith B. Allen +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that N enrichment impacts mycorrhizal allocation across a wide range of grassland ecosystems, and relative allocation to arbuscules, coils, and extraradical hyphae was generally reduced by N enrichment.
Nitrogen fertilization alters the functioning of arbuscular mycorrhizas at two semiarid grasslands
TL;DR: This study supports the hypotheses that (1) fertilization with N alters the balance between costs and benefits in mycorrhizal symbioses and (2) AM fungal communities from N fertilized soils are less beneficial mutualists than those from unfertilized soils.

Impacts of early- and late-seral mycorrhizae during restoration in seasonal tropical forest, mexico
TL;DR: Two tree species, Ceiba pentandra and Guazuma ulmifolia, were smallest with late-seral inoculum, even smaller than the uninoculated controls, which indicates that disturbance of vegetation and soil may change the species composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which may in turn affect plant species responses to AMF.

Assessing the Infectivity of Commercial Mycorrhizal Inoculants in Plant Nursery Conditions
Lea Corkidi,Edith B. Allen,Donald J. Merhaut,Michael F. Allen,James Downer,Jeff Bohn,Mike Evans +6 more
TL;DR: Mycorrhizal colonization did not enhance plant growth and two products promoted higher values of mycorrhIZal colonization in the Sunshine mix, three in the nursery mix and one in the soil-based medium.

Feedbacks of soil inoculum of mycorrhizal fungi altered by N deposition on the growth of a native shrub and an invasive annual grass
TL;DR: The negative biomass response of A. californica seedlings to high N-deposition inoculum may in part explain its decline; a microbially-mediated negative feedback may occur in this system that causes poor seedling growth and establishment.
