Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi are major microbial components of boreal, temperate and
Mediterranean forests, as well as some tropical forest ecosystems. Nearly two decades of …

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

In most ectomycorrhizal (EM) community studies involving molecular identification methods
there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps and …

Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

This review updates the previous information about ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal lineages.
Based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence, we recognize four novel lineages …

Biogeographical patterns and large‐scale genetic structure have been little studied in
ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi, despite the ecological and economic importance of EM …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, symbiotic mutualists of many dominant tree and shrub species,
exhibit a biogeographic pattern counter to the established latitudinal diversity gradient of …

The knowledge of temporal and spatial structure of populations of ectomycorrhizal fungi,
together with the origin and maintenance of their genetic variation, is critical to …

Introduction Knowledge of the factors that determine ectomycorrhizal fungal community
structure is essential in many areas of practical significance including conservation, habitat …
