Plant Coexistence & Diversity Mediated Below Ground

An area of continued study in ecology is the investigation of mechanisms that allow for many species of plants to coexist in contravention of a simple interpretation of the principle of competitive exclusion. This book reviews current research work implemented on the involvement of soil microbial community in regulating plant community composition and distribution. A particular focus is placed on the implication of mycorrhizal symbioses in promoting multi-species assemblages in plant communities.

Introduction; Regulation Forces Selecting for Mycorrhizal Fungal Community Composition & Distribution; Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Effects on Plant Growth & Competitive Performance; Implications of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Feedbacks for Plant Diversity & Community Distribution; Conclusion; Index.
