Rapid climate change threatens plant communities. While many studies address the impact
of climate change on plants and mechanisms of their resilience to climate stressors, the role …

Ericoid mycorrhiza occur only within the plant family Ericaceae, yet are globally widespread
and contribute to carbon and nutrient cycling in many habitats where harsh conditions limit …

Mutualistic plant-associated fungi are recognized as important drivers in plant evolution,
diversity, and health. The discovery that mycoviruses can take part and play important roles …

Ericoid mycorrhizal plants dominate in harsh environments where nutrient-poor, acidic soil
conditions result in a higher availability of potentially toxic metals. Although metal-tolerant …

菌根真菌在自然界中广泛存在, 能与大多数陆地植物形成共生体, 菌根共生体系对于植物适应各
种逆境胁迫具有重要意义. 在重金属污染土壤中通常也能发现菌根真菌, 某些菌根真菌对重金属 …

Although adaptive metal tolerance may arise in fungal populations in polluted soils, the
mechanisms underlying metal-specific tolerance are poorly understood. Comparative …

Mexico is a center of diversity for pines, but few studies have examined the ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungal communities associated with pines in this country. We investigated the ECM …

Metal trace elements accumulate in soils mainly because of anthropic activities, leading
living organisms to develop strategies to handle metal toxicity. Plants often associate with …

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi are a diverse assemblage of symbiotic fungi that features
culturable ascomycetes in the Helotiales and Onygenales, but also so far unculturable …

In boreal forests, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are found in soil layers containing
decomposed litter and humus‐rich soil organic matter (SOM). This chapter summarizes the …
