“…Via the conduit of a shared plant host, multitrophic interactions can occur amongst a wide range of below-and above-ground organisms including bacteria, fungi, invertebrates and vertebrates (Gehring & Bennett, 2009;Pineda, Zheng, Loon, & Dicke, 2012;van der Heyde, Bennett, Pither, & Hart, 2017). Due to the diverse organisms that exhibit interactions across the above-and below-ground interface, these interactions have large implications in key ecological processes such as nutrient cycling (Grabmaier, Heigl, Eisenhauer, Heijden, & Zaller, 2014;Hodge & Fitter, 2010;Lau, 2011), potent greenhouse gas emissions (Bender, Conen, & van der Heijden, 2015;Storer, Coggan, Ineson, & Hodge, 2018) and both population and community structure (Gehring & Bennett, 2009). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts that form a mutualistic relationship with the roots of around two thirds of plant species (Hughes, Hodge, Fitter, & Atkin, 2008).…”
