The diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on adult trees and seedlings of five species,
Anthonotha fragrans, Anthonotha macrophylla, Cryptosepalum tetraphyllum …

Despite the importance of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to both the carbon economy of their
hosts (Smith & Read, 1997; Wallander etal., 2004) and ecosystem respiration (Rygiewicz & …

Background Physiologically stressful environments tend to host depauperate and
specialized biological communities. Serpentine soils exemplify this phenomenon by …

Many forest trees have evolved mutualistic symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that
contribute to their phosphorus (P) nutrition. Forest productivity is frequently limited by P, a …

Host identity has been recognized as a key determinant of the structure of ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungal communities, but the importance of neighboring ECM hosts is less well …

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

Most ectomycorrhizal (EM) plants associate with many unrelated ectomycorrhizal fungi
(EMF), and many EMF associate with several different plant hosts (eg'multihost'or'generalist' …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi exchange soil nutrients for carbon from plant hosts. Empirical
works suggests that hosts may selectively provide resources to different fungal species …

Mutualisms are ubiquitous in natural systems, but less is known about how these positive
interactions influence species distributions compared with antagonistic interactions, such as …

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