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

The effect of the abundance and rapidity of ectomycorrhiza and root tip formation on conifer
seedling survival and growth was investigated on disturbed forest sites in southwest Oregon …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are a key organism group enabling and enhancing the process
of open land colonization by ECM-dependent trees and shrubs. Through their functional …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) play a fundamental role in the nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, especially in forest ecosystems. In this chapter, the value of ECMF species is …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi of a primary successional ecosystem and of exotic forest plantations
are studied. Both are simplified ecosystems with hosts requiring the importation of …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities are extremely species-rich in most forest
ecosystems (Horton and Bruns 2001). The number of EMF species can often reach more …

Assessment of ectomycorrhizal (EM) colonization was carried out in a variable green tree
retention experimental block near Powell River, British Columbia. We hypothesized that …
