Despite covering vast areas of boreal North America, the ecological factors structuring
mycorrhizal fungal communities in peatland forests are relatively poorly understood. To …

Dominant tree community mycorrhizal associations can influence soil biogeochemistry and
nutrient cycling, suggesting a prominent role of mycorrhizas in shaping belowground …

Forests in the northeastern US are experiencing shifts in community composition due to the
northward migration of warm-adapted tree species and certain species' declines (for …

Despite the ecological significance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, little is known about the
abiotic and biotic factors driving their diversity and community composition. To determine the …

Little is known about the response of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities to
ecosystem development. We use a long‐term soil chronosequence that includes ecosystem …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form diverse communities and are known to influence
above‐ground community dynamics and biodiversity. However, the multiscale patterns and …

Purpose Mycorrhizal fungi are critical for the growth and survival of trees although the
knowledge on the extent of their association with different tree species in the boreal forest …

Many trees depend on symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi for nutrients in exchange for
photosynthetically derived carbohydrates. Trees growing in peatlands, which cover 3% of …

Trees associating with different mycorrhizas often differ in their effects on litter
decomposition, nutrient cycling, soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, and plant-soil …

Although the level of diversity of root-associated fungi can be quite high, the effect of plant
distribution and soil environment on root-associated fungal communities at fine spatial …
