Symbiotic control of canopy dominance in subtropical and tropical forests

David Johnson et al.

Summary: Subtropical and tropical forests in Asia have a unique structure where canopy dominant trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi and understorey trees form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. This structure is explained by the virtuous phosphorus acquisition hypothesis, which suggests that rapid colonization of seedlings by ectomycorrhizal fungi, their ability to capture phosphorus from different chemical forms, and allocation of carbon from host plants contribute to this distinct structure.
