Molecular tools have now been applied for the past 5 years to dissect ectomycorrhizal (EM)
community structure, and they have propelled a resurgence in interest in the field. Results …

Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

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 …

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 …

Summary 1 Ectomycorrhizal fungi are spatially associated with established ectomycorrhizal
vegetation, but the influence of distance from established vegetation on the presence …

This work was aimed at understanding how the functional diversity of ectomycorrhizas
(ECM) is driven by environmental factors and how it adapts to the structure of the forest …

Resupinate thelephoroid fungi (hereafter called tomentelloid fungi) have a world‐wide
distribution and comprise≈ 70 basidiomycete species with inconspicuous, resupinate …

The influence of mature trees on colonization of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
seedlings by ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is not well understood. Here, the EMF …

We discuss four potentially important interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and
populations of plants. First, vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization has been shown to …

Human land use alters soil microbial composition and function in a variety of systems,
although few comparable studies have been done in tropical forests and tropical agricultural …
