Human-induced and natural stress factors can affect fine roots and ectomycorrhizas.
Therefore they have potential utility as indicators of environmental change. We evaluated …

In this paper, by reviewing ecological studies of ectomycorrhizal fungi where both fruiting
bodies and mycorrhizal root tips were simultaneously surveyed, we investigate whether the …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Forest soils are an important but under-studied part of forest ecosystems. The effects of O 3
on below-ground processes in a mature forest have only received limited attention so far. In …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

This thesis describes the ectomycorrhizal community and how it is affected by nitrogen
fertilization and forest regeneration methods. Fertilizer treatments included ammonium …

There is a need to quantify and qualify the ability of ectomycorrhizae to improve tree growth
and nutrition and, in particular, to define criteria to classify ectomycorrhizae with respect to …

Trait-based approaches are useful tools to explain ecological assembly rules and
ecosystem functioning. However, their use for soil microbiota has not been explored in depth …

Individual trees, either of the same or different species, can be linked spatially and
temporally by the hyphae of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that allow carbon and nutrients to …

A conspicuous decline of macromycetes, especially in ectomycorrhizal species, has been
described in the last decade in various parts of temperate Europe. It has been argued that …
