Environmental selection and dispersal limitation are two of the primary processes structuring
biotic communities in ecosystems, but little is known about these processes in shaping soil …

To advance our understanding of host effects on the community structure of ectomycorrhizal
fungi (EMF), EMF communities were compared among different host species, genera and …

Several mechanisms may contribute to the high species richness often reported in
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities, including spatial and temporal partitioning …

Fungal communities have been shown to be highly sensitive toward shifts in plant diversity
and species composition in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of …

Understanding the assembly of biological communities in space and time is a major goal in
community ecology. While most studies have focused on community assembly patterns in …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and
paper birch (Betula papyrifera) were studied along a chronosequence of forest development …

Environmental filtering (niche process) and dispersal limitation (neutral process) are two of
the primary forces driving community assembly in ecosystems, but how these processes …

Recent studies have shown that changes in community compositions of ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungi along elevation gradients are mainly affected by changes in host tree …

Fungal diversity and community composition are mainly related to soil and vegetation
factors. However, the relative contribution of the different drivers remains largely unexplored …

Microbial diversity is generally far higher than plant diversity, but the relationship between
microbial diversity and plant diversity remains enigmatic. To shed light on this problem, we …
