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 …

Community compositions of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are similar within the same host
taxa. However, careful interpretation is required to determine whether the combination of …

Biogeographic patterns in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities and their drivers have
been elucidated, including effects of host tree species and abiotic (climatic and edaphic) …

Recent studies have shown that changes in community compositions of ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungi along elevation gradients are mainly affected by changes in host tree …

Separating the effects of environmental factors and spatial distance on microbial
composition is difficult when these factors covary. We examined the composition of …

Changes in species richness and distributions of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities
along altitudinal gradients have been attributed to changes in both host distributions and …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi play major ecological roles in temperate and tropical
ecosystems. Although the richness of ECM fungal communities and the factors controlling …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play important roles in forest ecosystems, and their richness
and composition can change along with elevation and season changes. However, no study …

To advance our understanding of host effects on the community structure of ectomycorrhizal
fungi (EMF), EMF communities were compared among different host species, genera and …

Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) are symbionts formed between soil fungi and plant root systems, in
which the fungus exchanges soil-derived nutrients for carbohydrates obtained from the host …
