… of environmental change on ecosystem function. Here we illustrate four examples in which
key attributes of ectomycorrhizal fungi function as both response and effect traits. While plant …

… closely related species often share functional properties, whereas phylogenetically distant
species are thought to exhibit different functional properties (Maherali and Klironomos 2007). …

… functioning is a gap in most current microbial ecology studies. In this study, we analyzed
functional traits of ectomycorrhizal fungal … ectomycorrhizal composition and morphological traits …
