Soil ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi play pivotal roles in plant performance and
ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of forest secondary succession on their …

Successful colonization of empty habitat patches depends both on the capacity of a species
to reach the patch and its ability to establish and persist. Getting better insights into the …

Environmental selection and dispersal limitation are two of the primary processes structuring
biotic communities in ecosystems, but little is known about these processes in shaping soil …

Understanding spatial and temporal patterns present in ectomycorrhizal fungal community
structure is critical to understanding both the scale and duration of the potential impact these …

Exploring the link between above‐and belowground biodiversity has been a major theme of
recent ecological research, due in large part to the increasingly well‐recognized role that …

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 …

The soil fungal community plays an important role in forest ecosystems and is crucially
influenced by forest secondary succession. However, the driving factors of fungal community …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and
paper birch (Betula papyrifera) were studied along a chronosequence of forest development …

The effects on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community of clearcut logging, which is used to
harvest millions of hectares of ectomycorrhizal forest annually, has been studied for a …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) can form symbiotic relationships with plants, aiding in plant
growth by providing access to nutrients and defense against phytopathogenic fungi. In this …
