We investigated changes in the root‐associated fungal communities associated with the
ectomycorrhizal herb Bistorta vivipara along a primary succession gradient using 454 …

In this methodological study, we compare 454 sequencing and a conventional cloning and
Sanger sequencing approach in their ability to characterize fungal communities PCR …

The diversity of fungi along environmental gradients has been little explored in contrast to
plants and animals. Consequently, environmental factors influencing the composition of …

There is growing evidence that root‐associated fungi have important roles in Arctic
ecosystems. Here, we assess the diversity of fungal communities associated with roots of the …

The use of next-generation DNA sequencing methods, which produce massive volumes of
data, has transformed fungal molecular ecology. These technologies offer the opportunity to …

The aim of the study was to explore fungal community assembly during spontaneous
primary succession. Pyrosequencing was used to investigate the root-associated fungal …

Although bryophytes are a dominant vegetation component of boreal and alpine
ecosystems, little is known about their associated fungal communities. HPLC assays of …

Niche differentiation in soil horizons, host species and natural nutrient gradients contribute
to the high diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forests. This study aims at …

Global species richness patterns of soil micro‐organisms remain poorly understood
compared to macro‐organisms. We use a global analysis to disentangle the global …

Glacier chronosequences are important sites for primary succession studies and have
yielded well‐defined primary succession models for plants that identify environmental …
