Species–area curve and distance–decay relationships indicate habitat thresholds of ectomycorrhizal fungi in an old‐growth Pseudotsuga menziesii landscape

JM Kranabetter, SM Berch… - Diversity and …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are a diverse and essential biota of forests that are
vulnerable to species loss through reductions in late‐seral habitat. We examined how the …

Effectiveness of green-tree retention in the conservation of ectomycorrhizal fungi

JM Kranabetter, L De Montigny, G Ross - Fungal ecology, 2013 - Elsevier
Habitat fragmentation stresses may reduce the long-term effectiveness of green-tree
retention as refugia for ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) species. We tested for a minimum …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal richness declines towards the host species' range edge

RA Lankau, DP Keymer - Molecular Ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Plant range boundaries are generally considered to reflect abiotic conditions; however, a
rise in negative or decline in positive species interactions at range margins may contribute to …

[HTML][HTML] Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests

R Spake, S van der Linde, AC Newton, LM Suz… - Biological …, 2016 - Elsevier
Abstract Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for
preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal …

Drivers and implications of distance decay differ for ectomycorrhizal and foliar endophytic fungi across an anciently fragmented landscape

EA Bowman, AE Arnold - The ISME Journal, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Fungal communities associated with plants often decrease in similarity as the distance
between sampling sites increases (ie, they demonstrate distance decay). In the …

Influences of host plant identity and disturbance on spatial structure and community composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi in a northern Mississippi uplands ecosystem

AJ Craig, S Woods, JD Hoeksema - Fungal Ecology, 2016 - Elsevier
We sought to characterize how abiotic and biotic factors, including identities of tree hosts,
influence ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal composition on tree roots in mixed upland forests of …

Ectomycorrhizal fungal communities on the endangered Chinese Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga sinensis) indicating regional fungal sharing overrides host conservatism …

Z Wen, M Murata, Z Xu, Y Chen, K Nara - Plant and soil, 2015 - Springer
Background and aims Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities are affected by many
abiotic and biotic factors, among which host identity is often regarded as the most significant …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi above and below ground in a small, isolated aspen stand: A simple system reveals fungal fruiting strategies and an edge effect.

CL Cripps - 2004 - cabidigitallibrary.org
Ectomycorrhizal fungi are an important aspect of forest dynamics; however, it is not trivial to
analyse mycorrhizal communities in situ, particularly in quantitative terms. Aboveground …

Little evidence for niche partitioning among ectomycorrhizal fungi on spruce seedlings planted in decayed wood versus mineral soil microsites

JKM Walker, MD Jones - Oecologia, 2013 - Springer
Ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities vary among microhabitats, supporting a
dominant role for deterministic processes in EMF community assemblage. EMF communities …
