Abstract Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) Pisolithus albus (Cooke & Massee), belonging to the
ultramafic ecotype isolated in nickel-rich serpentine soils from New Caledonia (a tropical …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) isolates of Pisolithus albus (Cooke and Massee) from nickel-
rich ultramafic topsoils in New Caledonia were inoculated onto Acacia spirorbis Labill.(an …

Effects of chromium (Cr2+)(0–100 000 μmol Cr l− 1 MMN agar, supplied as CrO3) and nickel
(Ni2+)(0–100 000 μmol Ni l− 1 MMN agar, supplied as NiCl2) cations on growth of the …

In order to improve knowledge about the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the
tolerance to heavy metals in ultramafic soils, the present study investigated the influence of …

The fungus Pisolithus albus forms ectomycorrhizal (ECM) associations with plants growing
on extreme ultramafic soils, which are naturally rich in heavy metals such as nickel. Both …

Nickel (Ni)‐tolerant ectomycorrhizal P isolithus albus was isolated from extreme ultramafic
soils that are naturally rich in heavy metals. This study aimed to identify the specific …

In New Caledonia, a hot spot of biodiversity, plants from the Cyperaceae family are mostly
endemic and considered pioneers of the nickel-rich natural serpentine ecosystem. The aim …

Selection for metal-tolerant ecotypes of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi has been reported in
instances of metal contamination of soils as a result of human activities. However, no study …

The ecological restoration of nickel mining-degraded areas in New Caledonia is strongly
limited by low availability of soil mineral nutrients, metal toxicity, and slow growth rates of …

We developed a nondestructive method for detecting early toxic effects of inflethal copper
(Cu) concentrations on ectomycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal (NM) Scots pine (Pinus …
