Introduction Knowledge of the factors that determine ectomycorrhizal fungal community
structure is essential in many areas of practical significance including conservation, habitat …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) diversity was measured in 12 mixed‐wood stands in the Abitibi
region of north‐western Québec. Stands were of similar age and were situated on similar …

Interactions of ectomycorrhizal fungi are discussed in relation to the sequences of
mycorrhizal development on root systems of birch (Betula spp.) and other trees. In the …

A long‐term goal of community ecology is to identify spatial and temporal factors that
underlie observed community structures. Ultimately, ecologists seek to relate community …

In many semi-natural and natural ecosystems, mycorrhizal fungi are the most abundant and
functionally important group of soil micro-organisms. They are almost wholly dependent on …

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 …

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 …

The diversity of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) communities in 16 stands of Salix repens L. growing
under a variety of environmental conditions was studied by repeated sampling of EcM …

To understand the factors that structure ectomycorrhizal—basidiomycete communities at a
local scale, we measured the strength of the relations among the fungal communities, the …
