Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are crucial components of terrestrial ecosystems, underpinning plant growth and productivity. I will present my enquiry into the responses of mycorrhizal fungi and mycoheterotrophic plants to long-term fertilisation in a tropical forest in Panama, and discuss the extent to which fertilisation may have shifted the balance of the symbiosis between mycorrhizal fungi and their plant partners.
