In many European countries, recent policies and forest management have been striving to
restore and increase forest biodiversity. One of the ways to achieve this goal is by increased …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play an important role in nutrient cycling and community
ecological dynamics and are widely acknowledged as important components of forest …

Introduction In the present study, we describe the aboveground (epigeous sporocarps) and
belowground (ectomycorrhizal root tips and their exploration types) composition 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 …

Non-native tree species have been widely planted or have become naturalized in most
forested landscapes. It is not clear if native trees species collectively differ in ectomycorrhizal …

Trees in urban areas face harsh environmental conditions. Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcM) form
a symbiosis with many tree species and provide a range of benefits to their host through …

We examined the ectomycorrhizal communities associated with Norway spruce seedlings
grown in 16 bare-root nurseries in northwest Poland. One through four-year-old seedlings …

Betula pendula Roth. is considered a pioneering plant species important for urban
ecosystems. Based on the sequencing of fungal ITS, we characterized the ectomycorrhizal …

Abstract Background and Aims Pinus cembra represent a typical and important tree species
growing in European subalpine and alpine habitats. The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal …

Context An important feature of forest nursery management is the production of first-rate
planting stock, which is closely connected with an adequate development of …
