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 …

The field of ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) ecology has largely developed outside the
ecological mainstream, owing in large part to the challenges in studying the structure and …

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 …

In northern boreal forests, the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species is much greater
than that of their host trees. This field study investigated the role of individual trees in …

The diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on adult trees and seedlings of five species,
Anthonotha fragrans, Anthonotha macrophylla, Cryptosepalum tetraphyllum …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis was historically considered restricted to the temperate
zones, but recent studies have shown the importance of this symbiosis across the tropics …

In boreal forest ecosystems, the richness and complexity of ecto-mycorrhizal (EM) fungal
communities are in striking contrast to the often species-poor stands of host trees. The …

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 …

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 …
