The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbiosis is a mutualistic interaction between certain soil fungi and
fine roots of perennial plants, mainly forest trees, by which both partners become capable of …

Individual trees, either of the same or different species, can be linked spatially and
temporally by the hyphae of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that allow carbon and nutrients to …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form mutualistic symbioses with many tree species and are
regarded as key organisms in nutrient and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. Our …

Ectomycorrhizas, the dominating mycorrhizal symbiosis in boreal, temperate and some
tropical forests, are formed by 5000–6000 species of the asco-and basidiomycetes. This …

Symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is an advantageous partnership for trees in
nutrient-limited environments. Ectomycorrhizal fungi colonize the roots of their hosts and …

The microbiota of most forest soils is dominated by ecto-mycorrhizal and saprotrophic
decomposer fungi which are the main organisms involved respectively in the supply of …

The ectomycorrhizal symbiosis alters the physicochemical and biological conditions in the
surrounding soil, thus creating a particular environment called ectomycorrhizosphere, which …

During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

A long‐term goal of community ecology is to identify spatial and temporal factors that
underlie observed community structures. Ultimately, ecologists seek to relate community …
