Aim Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structures can vary across sites at a regional
scale (> 1,000 km), affected by abiotic and biotic environments, dispersal abilities of the …

Tree species identity is one of the key factors driving ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal richness
and community composition in boreal and temperate forest ecosystems, but little is known …

Although the eco-evolutionary dynamics of multicellular organisms are intertwined with the
microorganisms that colonize them, there is only a rudimentary understanding of how a …

Environmental changes have a manifold effect on biodiversity. Although soil harbours most
terrestrial biodiversity (Anthony et al., 2023), including c. 90% of the fungal kingdom, little is …

Fungi are evolutionary shape shifters and adapt quickly to new environments.
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbioses are mutualistic associations between fungi and plants and …

Abstract The fungus Cenococcum geophilum Fr.(Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) is one of
the most common ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal to temperate regions. A series of …

Cenococcum geophilum, as one of the common ectomycorrhizal fungi, is widely distributed
in various ecosystems and has highly genetic diversity and important ecological function …

Plant range boundaries are generally considered to reflect abiotic conditions; however, a
rise in negative or decline in positive species interactions at range margins may contribute to …

The present study focuses on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, a group of fungi that are
extremely vital to the functioning of forest ecosystems. Over a three-year period, we …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are integral to boreal and temperate forest ecosystem
functioning and nutrient cycling. ECM fungi, however, originate from diverse saprotrophic …
