As sessile organisms, plants are unable to seek out environmental conditions optimal for
their growth and development but instead must complete their life cycles in the environment …

On the basis of detailed morphological and molecular investigation, eighteen new species of
Inocybe (I. alberichiana, I. beatifica, I. bellidiana, I. clandestina, I. drenthensis, I. dryadiana, I …

Metal-rich soils, especially heavy metal-polluted soils and ultramafic soils, are generally
toxic to non-adapted plants and microorganisms. The role of mycorrhizal fungi in the metal …

Soil microorganisms play key roles in ecosystem functioning and are known to be influenced
by biotic and abiotic factors, such as plant cover or edaphic parameters. New Caledonia, a …

Multispecies mutualisms, such as the association between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi,
are often shaped by environmental context. Here, we explored the functional mechanisms …

The relationship between plants and the different types of rocks has been known at least
since the sixteenth century when Caesalpino linked the existence of the endemic Alyssum …

Environmental disturbances define the diversity and assemblage of species, affecting the
functioning of ecosystems. Fire is a major disturbance of Mediterranean pine forests. Pines …

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 …

Specialization and concomitant trade-offs are assumed to underlie the non-neutral
coexistence of lineages. Trade-offs across heterogeneous environments can promote …
