Abstract

One mechanism proposed to explain high species diversity in tropical systems is strong negative conspecific density dependence (CDD) which reduces recruitment of juveniles in proximity to conspecific adult plants. Although evidence shows that plant-specific soil pathogens can drive negative CDD trees also form key mutualisms with mycorrhizal fungi which may counteract these effects. Across 43 large-scale forest plots worldwide we tested whether ectomycorrhizal tree species exhibit weaker negative CDD than arbuscular mycorrhizal tree species. We further tested for燾onmycorrhizal density dependence (CMDD) to test for benefit from shared mutualists. We found that the strength of CDD varies systematically with mycorrhizal type with ectomycorrhizal tree species exhibiting higher sapling densities with increasing adult densities than arbuscular mycorrhizal tree species. Moreover we found evidence of positive CMDD for tree species of both mycorrhizal types. Collectively these findings indicate that mycorrhizal interactions likely play a foundational role in global forest diversity patterns and structure. ? 2023 Springer Nature Limited.
