Abstract Amaranthus, Michael P. 1998. The importance and conservation of ectomycorrizal
fungal diversity in forest ecosystems: lessons from Europe and the Pacific Northwest. Gen …

The association between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and trees is at the heart of forest
ecosystems. Nowadays, this association is increasingly facing pressures resulting from …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities are extremely species-rich in most forest
ecosystems (Horton and Bruns 2001). The number of EMF species can often reach more …

In this letter we propose a first large-scale assessment of mycorrhizas with a European-wide
network of intensively monitored forest plots as a research platform. This effort would create …

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 …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi exhibit high diversity even in small monoculture forests. Roughly 20 to
35 species typically occupy such sites. Explanations for this diversity can be based on …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) play a fundamental role in the nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, especially in forest ecosystems. In this chapter, the value of ECMF species is …

Since the earliest report by Frank (1885), in which he documented the benefit of
ectomycorrhizal fungi for their plant hosts, ecologists have been intrigued by the functional …

The present study focuses on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, a group of fungi that are
extremely vital to the functioning of forest ecosystems. Over a three-year period, we …
