Role of mycorrhizal networks in dry Douglas-fir forests
Mycorrhizal networks (MNs) are fungal hyphae that connect the roots of at least two plants, potentially providing a conduit for interplant resource transfer. Interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco) is an obligate ectomycorrhizal (EM) tree species that has high …

A Mycorrhizal Model for Transactive Energy Markets
Mycorrhizal Networks (MNs) facilitate the exchange of resources including energy, water, nutrients, and information between trees and plants in forest ecosystems. This work explored MNs as an inspiration for new market models in transactive energy networks, which similarly involve exchanges of …

Cooperation and Punishment in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Implications for Resource Exchange & Biological Market Dynamics
<p>The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is arguably the world’s most abundant and important mutualism, and brings together the roots of the majority of land plants and AM fungi to great mutual advantage. The AM symbiosis can increase the uptake of nutrients, such as phosphorus (P) and nitrogen …

Ectomycorrhizal associations in tropical montane forest: insights into their influence on nutrient cycling and functional responses to soil fertility
In Panamanian montane forest, the ectomycorrhizal tree Oreomunnea mexicana forms monodominant stands where it accounts for up to 70% of individuals. Monodominance is unexpected in tropical forest because the accumulation of host-specific pathogens is thought to limit the local abundance of …

Automated image-based analysis methods for filament networks structures in two and three dimensions
… organisms with a morphology resembling filament networks, notable examples include mycorrhizal networks, which are filamentous structures formed by underground growing fungi that establish symbiotic relationships with plant roots: in these relationships, the fungus obtains sugar in exchange for …
