Changes in species richness and distributions of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities
along altitudinal gradients have been attributed to changes in both host distributions and …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi commonly associate with the roots of forest trees where they enhance
nutrient and water uptake, promote seedling establishment and have an important role in …

Recent studies have shown that changes in community compositions of ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungi along elevation gradients are mainly affected by changes in host tree …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play important roles in forest ecosystems, and their richness
and composition can change along with elevation and season changes. However, no study …

Separating the effects of environmental factors and spatial distance on microbial
composition is difficult when these factors covary. We examined the composition of …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi play major ecological roles in temperate and tropical
ecosystems. Although the richness of ECM fungal communities and the factors controlling …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi can influence the establishment and performance of host
species by increasing nutrient and water absorption. Therefore, understanding the response …

In order to assess changes in the community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi across the
tree line, data on distributions of fungi and their host plants, as well as on edaphic factors …

Several mechanisms may contribute to the high species richness often reported in
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities, including spatial and temporal partitioning …
