We have investigated colonization strategies by comparing the abundance and frequency of
ectomycorrhizal fungal species on roots in a mature Pinus muricata forest with those present …

We used molecular techniques to examine the ectomycorrhizal fungal community
associated with pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) growing in two soil types in a semiarid region of …

Non-native tree species have been widely planted or have become naturalized in most
forested landscapes. It is not clear if native trees species collectively differ in ectomycorrhizal …

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 …

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 …

The ectomycorrhizal fungal associations of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii D. Don) and
bishop pine (Pinus muricata D. Don) were investigated in a mixed forest stand. We identified …

Seedlings of Abies grandis (Dougl.) Lindl.(grand fir), Lithocarpus densiflora (Hook. & Arn.)
Rehd.(tanoak), Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.(ponderosa pine), Pseudotsuga menziesii …

Relatively little is known about diversity or structure of tropical ectomycorrhizal communities
or their roles in tropical ecosystem dynamics. In this study, we present one of the largest …

Competition is often considered a fundamental process influencing assemblage structure,
yet little is known about competition among ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. Here, we examine …
