The taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of fungi associated with dead leaves of
alpine and subalpine plants were quantified along primary successional and elevational …

No individual, population, or species assemblage exists in ecological isolation, free from
interactions with other organisms or populations. Rather, all organisms are integrated within …

Soil fungal populations, diversity, and the community composition of fungal groups were
determined among soils from 11 plant communities occurring in the semiarid Southwest. In …

Fungi play key roles in forest soils and provide benefits to trees via mycorrhizal symbioses.
After severe disturbance, forest regrowth can be impeded because of changes in fungal …

Although uniflagellate zoosporic fungi and protists (here defined as Chytridiomycota and
Hyphochytriomycota) are common in soil, little is known about the spatial scale and factors …

The level of specificity is a key evolutionary and ecological parameter of any symbiotic
interaction. Where diverse classes of mutualists interact, extracting the drivers of spatial …

Understanding the role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in plant communities is hampered by a lack
of knowledge about fungal diversity. DNA barcoding of the ectomycorrhizal fungal genus …

There is concern that growing forest plantations in close rotation may adversely impact the
rate of litter decomposition and thus soil productivity. The impact of conifer monocultures of …

Species richness and species composition of microfungi associated with Oregon beaked
moss (Kindbergia oregana) were studied at two forest chronosequences on southeast …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are important components of forest ecosystems.
Ectomycorrhizas and their associated mycelial systems are the main organs of water and …
