Almost all natural plant communities contain arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We
hypothesized that the species composition of AMF communities could have the potential to …

Interactions between communities of plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi shape
fundamental ecosystem properties. Experimental evidence suggests that compositional …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF s) are important plant symbionts, but we know little about
the effects of plant taxonomic identity or functional group on the AMF community …

The community of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and co-associated fungi from a serpentine site
forested with Pinus sylvestris and Quercus petraea was explored, to improve the …

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 …

Urbanization alters the physicochemical environment, introduces non-native species and
causes ecosystem characteristics to converge. It has been speculated that these alterations …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in ecosystems, but little is known
about how soil AM fungal community composition varies in relation to habitat type and land …

Previous studies have shown that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can mediate plant
interactions, thereby affecting plant community structure. Little is known, however, about …

Functional diversity in ecosystems has traditionally been studied using aboveground plant
traits. Despite the known effect of plant traits on the microbial community composition, their …
