Abstract: Many plants depend on symbiotic fungi called mycorrhizae, which are associated with plant roots and help in nutrient acquisition. A new experimental investigation shows that, at least in the two types of grassland studied, floristic diversity depends upon the presence of a species-rich assemblage of fungal symbionts. The authors also propose a mechanistic basis for this effect.
