Numerous species of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi coexist under the forest floor. To explore
the mechanisms of coexistence, we investigated the fine-scale distribution of ECM fungal …

We conducted bioassay experiments to investigate the soil propagule banks of
ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in old-growth forests along an elevation gradient and compared …

As the main source of inocula, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal propagules are critical for root
colonization and seedling survival in deforested areas. It is essential to know factors that …

Belowground ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities are affected by the dominant tree
species of aboveground vegetation. We investigated ECM-fungal communities in the …

Extensive knowledge of various ectomycorrhizal fungal communities has been obtained
over the past 10 years based on molecular identification of the fungi colonizing fine roots. In …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) form symbiotic relationship with the roots of host plants. EMF
communities are composed of highly diverse species; however, how they are assembled …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) can help maintain the natural range of host trees by assisting
their occupancy in the boundary of distribution. However, it is unclear whether the boundary …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal distributions at different distances from one mature Quercus serrata
tree were demonstrated in a Japanese cypress stand. After 4 months for field-planted and 3 …

Interactions between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi are critical to the growth and survival of
both partners. However, ectomycorrhizal symbiosis has barely been explored in …

Aim Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structures can vary across sites at a regional
scale (> 1,000 km), affected by abiotic and biotic environments, dispersal abilities of the …
