The biology of myco‐heterotrophic (‘saprophytic’) plants
- J. Leake
- Biology
- 1 June 1994
SUMMARY
More than 400 species of vascular plants, in 87 genera, are acholophyllous and heterotrophic, but not directly parasitic upon autotrophs. They are usually, but incorrectly, described as… Expand
Networks of power and influence: the role of mycorrhizal mycelium in controlling plant communities and agroecosystem functioning
- J. Leake, D. Johnson, D. P. Donnelly, G. Muckle, L. Boddy, D. Read
- Biology
- 1 August 2004
Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the �hidden half� of the symbiosis, but they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of plant… Expand
Mapping an urban ecosystem service: quantifying above‐ground carbon storage at a city‐wide scale
- Z. Davies, J. Edmondson, A. Heinemeyer, J. Leake, K. Gaston
- Environmental Science
- 1 October 2011
Summary 1. Despite urbanization being a major driver of land-use change globally, there have been few attempts to quantify and map ecosystem service provision at a city-wide scale. One service that… Expand
Mycorrhizal fungi as drivers of ecosystem processes in heathland and boreal forest biomes
- D. Read, J. Leake, J. Pérez-Moreno
- Biology
- 1 August 2004
The importance of mycorrhizas in heathland and boreal forest biomes, which together cover much of the landmass of the Northern Hemisphere and store most of the global stocks of carbon, is reviewed.… Expand
Epiparasitic plants specialized on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
- M. Bidartondo, D. Redecker, +6 authors D. Read
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 26 September 2002
Over 400 non-photosynthetic species from 10 families of vascular plants obtain their carbon from fungi and are thus defined as myco-heterotrophs. Many of these plants are epiparasitic on green plants… Expand
Mutualistic mycorrhiza in orchids: evidence from plant-fungus carbon and nitrogen transfers in the green-leaved terrestrial orchid Goodyera repens.
- D. Cameron, J. Leake, D. Read
- Biology, Medicine
- The New phytologist
- 1 July 2006
The roles of mycorrhiza in facilitating the acquisition and transfer of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to adult orchids are poorly understood. Here, we employed isotopically labelled sources of C and N… Expand
Mycorrhizal Specificity and Function in Myco-heterotrophic Plants
- D. L. Taylor, T. Bruns, J. Leake, D. Read
- Biology
- 2002
We present an analysis of fungal specificity in myco-heterotrophic orchids and monotropes. We argue that specificity represents a continuum and can only be properly assessed using phylogenetic data.… Expand
Bryophyte physiological responses to, and recovery from, long-term nitrogen deposition and phosphorus fertilisation in acidic grassland.
- M. Arróniz-Crespo, J. Leake, P. Horton, G. Phoenix
- Biology, Medicine
- The New phytologist
- 1 December 2008
Atmospheric nitrogen deposition can cause major declines in bryophyte abundance yet the physiological basis for such declines is not fully understood. Bryophyte physiological responses may also be… Expand
Impacts of atmospheric nitrogen deposition: responses of multiple plant and soil parameters across contrasting ecosystems in long‐term field experiments
- G. Phoenix, B. Emmett, +12 authors S. Power
- Environmental Science
- 1 April 2012
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is a global and increasing threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function. Much of our current understanding of N deposition impacts comes from field manipulation… Expand
Base cation depletion, eutrophication and acidification of species-rich grasslands in response to long-term simulated nitrogen deposition.
- P. Horswill, Odhran S. O’Sullivan, G. Phoenix, J. A. Lee, J. Leake
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Environmental pollution
- 1 September 2008
Pollutant nitrogen deposition effects on soil and foliar element concentrations were investigated in acidic and limestone grasslands, located in one of the most nitrogen and acid rain polluted… Expand
