The process of fungal community succession in forests is still insufficiently known, especially
in Mediterranean ecosystems. To reveal successional patterns, we studied changes in …

Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

Continuous increase of nitrogen (N) deposition induces deleterious environmental changes
in forest ecosystems, affecting biotic diversity and ecosystem functions. However …

Soil fungi are a major factor maintaining plant diversity and productivity, but the underlying
mechanisms are still poorly understood. Based on a biodiversity–ecosystem functioning …

In a study of fungi growing in various root-associated habitats in and around Picea mariana,
black spruce, in northern Ontario, Canada, an examination was made of the degree to which …

We used molecular techniques to examine the ectomycorrhizal fungal community
associated with pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) growing in two soil types in a semiarid region of …

Interrelations of fungal mycelium with other soil biota are of paramount importance in forestry
and soil ecology. Here we present the results of statistical analysis of a comprehensive data …

In terrestrial ecosystems, mycorrhizal roots play a key role in the cycling of soil carbon (C)
and other nutrients. The impact of environmental factors on the mycorrhizal fungal …

The cultivation of plantation forests is likely to change the diversity and composition of soil
fungal communities. At present, there is scant information about these communities in …

The rainforests of Southeast Asia are a global biodiversity hotspot under increasing
pressure from human activity. Selective logging and forest conversion to oil palm plantation …
