Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

Dark septate root endophytes (DSE) are conidial or sterile fungi (Deuteromycotina, Fungi
Imperfecti) likely to be ascomycetous and colonizing plant roots. They have been reported …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

A comparison of published estimates of mycorrhizal and dark septate endophyte (DSE)
colonisation from various ecosystems suggests that DSE may be as abundant as …

After severe wildfires, pine recovery depends on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal spores
surviving and serving as partners for regenerating forest trees. We took advantage of a …

Aim Most vascular plants on E arth form mycorrhizae, a symbiotic relationship between
plants and fungi. Despite the broad recognition of the importance of mycorrhizae for global …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

Belowground biota can deeply influence plant invasion. The presence of appropriate soil
mutualists can act as a driver to enable plants to colonize new ranges. We reviewed the …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and
paper birch (Betula papyrifera) were studied along a chronosequence of forest development …
