How natural communities of mycorrhizal fungi affect plant-herbivore interactions
Plants were were inoculated with native fungal communities sourced from either a crop field (field community), a sclerophyll forest (forest community), or a crop field in fallow (fallow community). We explored how the composition and structure (species richness and relative abundance) of root-colonising AM fungal communities was associated with the growth and belowground nutrient responses of a major crop (Sorghum bicolor) to attack from a root-feeding insect (Dermolepida albohirtum).
