Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and a diverse group of
soil fungi. Mycorrhizal symbiosis is categorized into discrete types based on the structural …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

In most ectomycorrhizal (EM) community studies involving molecular identification methods
there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps and …

Gondwanan vegetation, and the Australian region in particular, is species rich for
ectomycorrhizal fungi in epigeous and hypogeous forms with over 100 species recorded in …

Global species richness patterns of soil micro‐organisms remain poorly understood
compared to macro‐organisms. We use a global analysis to disentangle the global …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

At the interface between plants and soils, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi explore soils, acquire
resources, transfer resources to plants, and acquire carbon from plants. Mycorrhizas …

Background In forest ecosystems, communities of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) are
influenced by several biotic and abiotic factors. To understand their underlying dynamics …

Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations between fungi and plant roots. These symbiotic
associations are abundant and occur in 75 to 80% of plants. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are very …

There is a need to quantify and qualify the ability of ectomycorrhizae to improve tree growth
and nutrition and, in particular, to define criteria to classify ectomycorrhizae with respect to …
