MINERAL BOTTLENECK. “Soil resources tend to limit plant growth. No additional C can be fixed if water, N, or P cannot be acquired in sufficient quantities. Even in rich soils, as plant numbers increase per unit soil, resources per plant decline. Second, mycorrhizae alter the competitive outcomes between mycorrhizal plants, and between mycotrophic and nonmycotrophic plants.”
