Plants establishing in environments that are marginal for growth could be particularly
sensitive to mycorrhizal associations. We investigated ectomycorrhizal colonization and its …

The importance of seedling establishment to the position ofalpine-treeline is recognized, yet
little is known about factorsaffecting the survival of seedlings of treeline conifers during their …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi occur abundantly in the mineral horizons of forest soils, but their
interactions with mineral substrates are largely unknown. We have examined the …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal mycelia are the main organs for nutrient uptake in many
woody plants, and often connect seedlings to mature trees. While it is known that resources …

In northern boreal forests, the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species is much greater
than that of their host trees. This field study investigated the role of individual trees in …

Ectomycorrhizal seedlings of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) inoculated with the nitrotolerant
Laccaria bicolor and the nitrophobic Suillus bovinus were exposed to ambient (350 μl l− 1) …

We studied the role of taxonomical and functional ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal diversity in
root formation and nutrient uptake by Norway spruce (Picea abies) seedlings with fast‐and …

The influence of various amounts of shrub and herb cover on microclimate and on survival
and growth of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry) and lodgepole pine (Pinus …

In this study we examined the role of the nitrogen‐fixing tree, Robinia pseudoacacia (black
locust), in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) formation and ECM community of Pinus thunbergii …

Conifer mountain forests influence numerous human populations by providing a host of
critical economic, sociological, and ecosystem services. Although the causes of the …
