The vast forests of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, an area outlined by the
states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, are well known for their rich diversity of …

Mycorrhizal fungi play a critical role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. They improve
plant growth and survival through a mutualistic relationship in which photosynthates are …

Background and aims Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities are affected by many
abiotic and biotic factors, among which host identity is often regarded as the most significant …

Habitat fragmentation stresses may reduce the long-term effectiveness of green-tree
retention as refugia for ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) species. We tested for a minimum …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are frequently species rich and functionally diverse; yet, our
knowledge of the environmental factors that influence local EMF diversity and species …

Mycorrhiza management in forestry must be predicated on an understanding of fungal
biology and ecology. A fundamental building block of the biology and ecology of any …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

Many factors associated with forests are collectively responsible for controlling
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structure, including plant species composition …

The composition of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungal communities in Nothofagus rainforests and
the responses of the fungal communities to timber harvesting have been unknown. We …

Plants have often been moved across the globe with intact root systems. These roots are
likely to have housed symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi and the movement of plants may …
