There is growing evidence of the importance of extramatrical mycelium (EMM) of mycorrhizal
fungi in carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. However, our understanding has until recently …

Knowledge of spatiotemporal patterns in species distribution is fundamental to
understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes shaping communities. The …

Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by
deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes. Here we …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

Mycorrhizal fungi constitute a considerable sink for carbon in most ecosystems. This carbon
is used for building extensive mycelial networks in the soil as well as for metabolic activity …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of F agus sylvatica L. that are
relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are …

Soils of northern temperate and boreal forests represent a large terrestrial carbon (C) sink.
The fate of this C under elevated atmospheric CO2 and climate change is still uncertain. A …

Nitrogen (N) availability is known to influence ectomycorrhizal fungal components, such as
fungal community composition, biomass of root tips and production of mycelia, but effects …

Mycorrhizal species richness and host ranges were investigated in mixed deciduous stands
composed of Fagus sylvatica, Tilia spp., Carpinus betulus, Acer spp., and Fraxinus excelsior …

A decade ago, tunnels inside mineral grains were found that were likely formed by hyphae
of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. This observation implied that EcM fungi can dissolve mineral …
