Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) plants and fungi can be diverse and abundant in certain tropical
ecosystems. For example, the primarily paleotropical ECM plant family Dipterocarpaceae is …

The consistent association of Paleotropical Dipterocarpaceae with ectomycorrhizal (ECM)
fungi suggests that ECM status is an ancestral character in the family. Despite its distinctive …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi historically were considered poorly represented in Neotropical
forests but in the central Guiana Shield substantial areas are dominated by leguminous …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form highly diverse communities in temperate forests, but little
is known about their community ecology in tropical ecosystems.• Using anatomotyping and …

Abstract The genera Dicymbe and Aldina (Fabaceae) host ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcM) and
are common in white sand forests (WSFs), a highly specialized habitat with a high level of …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis was long thought to be restricted to temperate forests.
However, as tropical forests have been explored, it has become clear that these habitats …

Ecologically important ectomycorrhizal (EM) associations are poorly known from equatorial
rain forests of South America. Recent field studies in the Pakaraima Mountains of western …

The role that mycorrhizal fungal associations play in the assembly of long-lived tree
communities is poorly understood, especially in tropical forests, which have the highest tree …

Temperate ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi show segregation whereby some species dominate
in organic layers and others favor mineral soils. Weak layering in tropical soils is …

Relatively little is known about diversity or structure of tropical ectomycorrhizal communities
or their roles in tropical ecosystem dynamics. In this study, we present one of the largest …
