Stable isotopes of amino acids indicate that soil decomposer microarthropods predominantly feed on saprotrophic fungi

Ecosphere, 2021
Soil microarthropods are essential for nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems as they are integral components of decomposer food webs. They channel carbon and nutrients from leaf litter and roots to higher trophic levels; however, knowledge on the ...

Experimental and genomic evidence clarifies the mycorrhizal helper role of a widespread bacterium in Bishop pine forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hypothetical model of Paraburkholderia–EcMF–Bishop pine interactions. Summary Whether a widespread bacterial strain of Paraburkholderia can enhance the physiological responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) and host Bishop pine seedling growth remains unclear. We developed a ‘top‐down meets bottom‐up’ approach that harmonized data from molecular field

Limited restoration of plant microbiomes: insights from fungal assemblages of a peatland dominant

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants are not solitary organisms; they host diverse and largely unexplored microbiomes that shape their health, adaptability, and ecosystem roles. Recent environmental sequencing findings have revealed that each plant species harbors a unique fungal assemblage.

TOLERANCE OF CANAFÍSTULA (Peltophorum dubium (SPRENG) TAUB.) SEEDLINGS INOCCULATED WITH Pisolithus microcarpus TO COPPER CONTAMINATED SOIL

Ciência Florestal, 2010
The ectomycorrhizal fungi symbiosis with native florestal essences may be an alternative to   revegetation of metal contaminated soils. The aim of this work was to determine canafístula seedlings behavior, inoculated to ectomycorrhizal fungi in soil with

Molecular evidence supports simultaneous association of the achlorophyllous orchid Chamaegastrodia inverta with ectomycorrhizal Ceratobasidiaceae and Russulaceae

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Achlorophyllous orchids are mycoheterotrophic plants, which lack photosynthetic ability and associate with fungi to acquire carbon from different environmental sources. In tropical latitudes, achlorophyllous forest orchids show a preference to

Performance of planted native seedlings in felled strips within Pinus radiata plantation forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Exotic plantations could facilitate native forest restoration through a managed transition utilizing partial harvest, poisoning, or natural senescence of the plantation. Objectives To explore canopy gap creation and herbivore exclusion in a Pinus radiata plantation on planted seedlings of three native tree species.

Fungal biomass and ectomycorrhizal community assessment of phosphorus responsive Pinus taeda plantations

Frontiers in Fungal Biology
Ectomycorrhizal fungi and non-ectomycorrhizal fungi are responsive to changes in environmental and nutrient availabilities. Although many species of ectomycorrhizas are known to enhance the uptake of phosphorus and other nutrients for Pinus taeda, it is ...

Mycelium chemistry differs markedly between ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Communications Biology, 2022
Chemical profiles of arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi reveal that differences in decomposability-relevant chemistry are larger between AM and EM fungi than across plant functional groups.

Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities Associated With Hopea odorata (Dipterocarpaceae) Planted in Tropical Urban Parks in Singapore

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Members of the family Dipterocarpaceae are ecologically and economically important timber trees, many of which are threatened with extinction. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form critical symbiotic associations with this family; however, their diversity and composition in tropical urban environments remain inadequately documented.
