Data from: Fungal effects on plant-plant interactions contribute to grassland plant abundances: evidence from the field
1. Plant-fungal interactions can have strong effects on plant abundances, both through direct effects on plant performance and indirect effects on competition and facilitation. Most evidence linking fungi to plant abundances derives from direct fungal effects on initial growth, with little evidence...
