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

• Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities can be structured by abiotic and biotic factors. Here,
we present evidence for community structuring by species interactions.• We sampled …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities have been characterized in a number of ways. Here we
compare colonized root‐tip and mycelia views of an ectomycorrhizal fungal community.• …

Soil abiotic factors are considered to be important in determining the distribution of
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species; however, there are few field data to support this …

Understanding spatial and temporal patterns present in ectomycorrhizal fungal community
structure is critical to understanding both the scale and duration of the potential impact these …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) mycelium is a key component of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, yet
we know little regarding the fine‐scale diversity and distribution of mycelium in ECM fungal …

A long‐term goal of community ecology is to identify spatial and temporal factors that
underlie observed community structures. Ultimately, ecologists seek to relate community …

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 …

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

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 …
