Soil persistence and biodiversity of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in the absence of the host plant in a Mediterranean ecosystem
The occurrence of suitable mycorrhizal inocula may be an important factor affecting the
dynamics of plant communities. We investigated the persistence and diversity of ericoid …

Ecology of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi: what insight have we gained with molecular tools and what's missing?
The fungal partners involved in Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) associations are diverse,
including many ascomycetous species falling in the Helotiales order, such as Rhizoscyphus …

Abiotic rather than biotic filtering shapes the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities of European seminatural grasslands
Although it is well known that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a key role in the
functioning of natural ecosystems, the underlying drivers determining the composition of …

Ericoid fungal diversity: challenges and opportunities for mycorrhizal research
DR Leopold - Fungal Ecology, 2016 - Elsevier
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 …

Ericoid plant species and Pinus sylvestris shape fungal communities in their roots and surrounding soil
Root‐colonizing fungi can form mycorrhizal or endophytic associations with plant roots, the
type of association depending on the host. We investigated the differences and similarities of …

A common ericoid shrub modulates the diversity and structure of fungal communities across an arbuscular to ectomycorrhizal tree dominance gradient
Differences between arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) trees strongly influence
forest ecosystem processes, in part through their impact on saprotrophic fungal …

New insights into the mycorrhizal Rhizoscyphus ericae aggregate: spatial structure and co‐colonization of ectomycorrhizal and ericoid roots
Fungi in the Rhizoscyphus ericae aggregate have been recovered from the roots of co‐
occurring ericaceous shrubs and ectomycorrhizal trees. However, to date, there is no …
