Root systems are simultaneously colonized by multiple individuals of mycorrhizal fungi.
Intraspecific competitive interactions between fungal isolates are likely to affect both fungal …

During a lifetime that can span several hundred years, a tree will be challenged by
generations of parasites and will encounter a host of different limitations related to nutrition …

Characterizing the ecological processes driving the assembly and functional composition of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities is an area of active research. Here, we applied a …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are highly diversified and dominant in a number of forest
ecosystems. Nevertheless, their scales of spatial distribution and the underlying ecological …

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 …

The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the
ecological mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and …

Despite the importance of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in forest ecosystems, knowledge
about the ecological and co‐evolutionary mechanisms underlying ECM host associations …

Background. The extent to which ectomycorrhizal fungi mediate primary production, carbon
storage, and nutrient remineralization in terrestrial ecosystems depends upon fungal …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are among the most prevalent fungal partners of plants and can
constitute up to one-third of forest microbial biomass. As mutualistic partners that supply …

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