Surface mining in the Canadian boreal forest involves the removal of vegetation and soils,
resulting in the local loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are an important component to ecosystem function in the boreal forest.
Underlying factors influencing fungal community composition and richness, such as host …

Soil fungi are important components of boreal forest ecosystems; for example, saprotrophic
fungi regulate nutrient cycling, and mycorrhizal species facilitate nutrient uptake by plants …

Management of boreal forests with clear-cutting has a marked effect on forest biodiversity.
One directly and severely affected group of species is ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), because …

Severe disturbances, such as those caused by surface mining, sever connections between
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and their hosts. In this study, we examined the importance of …

Temperate and boreal forests are increasingly suffering from anthropic degradation.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are symbionts with most temperate and boreal forest trees …

Forest disturbances can alter mycorrhizal fungal communities with consequences for
subsequent plant establishment and growth. One possible mitigation strategy to promote …

The eastern deciduous forest is a mix of arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) trees, but
land use legacies have increased the abundance of AM trees like Acer spp.(maple) …

Seedlings that germinate after commercial harvesting are often colonized by the same early
successional ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcM) as seen after wildfire. Because seedlings …

Reforestation is challenging when timber harvested areas have been degraded, invaded by
nonnative species, or are of marginal suitability to begin with. Conifers form mutualistic …
