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 …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is the most widely distributed pine species in Europe and is
relevant in terms of planted areas and harvest yields. Therefore, each year the demand for …

Data on the impact of forest management practices on ectomycorrhizal community structure
remains fragmentary and mainly originates from studies in northern coniferous forests. This …

In northern boreal forests, the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species is much greater
than that of their host trees. This field study investigated the role of individual trees in …

Root systems and types of ectomycorrhizae (ECM) were analysed on three 7-year-old beech
seedlings (Fagus sylvatica L.) of three provenances (Val di Sella, Idrija, Nizbor) from an …

The present study focuses on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, a group of fungi that are
extremely vital to the functioning of forest ecosystems. Over a three-year period, we …

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 …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi importantly influence seedling growth, nutrition, and survival
and create an extensive mycelial network interconnecting tree species and enabling …

In this study, we present the detailed molecular investigation of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM)
community of Quercus petraea and Quercus robur seedlings grown in bare-root forest …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) colonisation patterns and seedling growth of containerised spruce
seedlings were studied in five typical Finnish forest nurseries by morphotyping and …
