An aspect of plant community structure that is gaining increased research attention is the presence of 'common mycorrhizal networks' (CMNs) in multi-species cover crops, cash crops grown with companion plants and high-diversity pastures. It has been found that plants in communities assist each other by linking together in vast underground superhighways through which carbon, water and nutrients are exchanged. Common mycorrhizal networks increase plant resistance to pests and diseases as well as enhancing plant vigor and improving soil health through increased rates of carbon sequestration.
