Altered disturbance regimes and novel introductions are causing rapid shifts in the
distribution of pines (Pinus L.). The functionally obligate symbiosis between pines and …

Exotic pine trees are often introduced to novel places worldwide. How exotic pines interact
with local microbial communities, such as symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, during …

Exotic non-native Pinus species have been widely planted or become naturalized in many
parts of the world. Pines rely on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi mutualisms to overcome …

Few studies have examined how below-ground interactions among plants affect the
abundance and community composition of symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi.• Here, we combined …

Successive droughts have resulted in extensive tree mortality in the southwestern United
States. Recovery of these areas is dependent on the survival and recruitment of young trees …

Belowground biota can deeply influence plant invasion. The presence of appropriate soil
mutualists can act as a driver to enable plants to colonize new ranges. We reviewed the …

A key problem in evolutionary biology is to understand how multispecific networks are
reshaped by evolutionary and coevolutionary processes as they spread across contrasting …

We used molecular techniques to examine the ectomycorrhizal fungal community
associated with pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) growing in two soil types in a semiarid region of …

Belowground interactions can affect plants either directly or indirectly via their associated
mycorrhizal fungi. However, few studies have experimentally examined the consequences …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities that associate with invading pines (Pinus spp.) are
expected to be poor in species diversity. However, long-term successional trajectories and …
