Measuring ectomycorrhizal fungal dispersal: macroecological patterns driven by microscopic propagules
Dispersal plays a prominent role in most conceptual models of community assembly.
However, direct measurement of dispersal across a whole community is difficult at …

Spore dispersal of basidiomycete fungi at the landscape scale is driven by stochastic and deterministic processes and generates variability in plant–fungal interactions
Fungi play an important role in plant communities and ecosystem function. As a result,
variation in fungal community composition can have important consequences for plant …
