- Abstract
The article reports that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM), ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) plants have evolved unique functional traits in response to particular sets of environmental, and especially soil, conditions. The AM habit likely arose at a single time during the early evolution of both plants and fungi. It states that the three major types of mycorrhizal symbioses display an interesting mismatch in the phylogenetic diversity of plants and fungi associated with each.
