TL;DR: Analysis of the extent of genetic variation within ex situ populations indicated that the variation within plants cultivated within Britain is comparable to that recorded in small natural populations; however, cluster and UPGMA analyses suggested that only populations from the northern part of the natural range of the species are represented in cultivation.

TL;DR: The advantages of mixtures for improving yield, reducing fungicide applications and improving agronomic characteristics was demonstrated and there seems to be great potential for their further improvement and exploitation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that any conservation strategy developed for mahoganies should include a genetic selection and improvement programme as well as the protection of natural stands in situ.

TL;DR: The results suggest that overmature planted forest stands, particularly those that are mixed-woods with high basal area, are an effective means to connect and expand ecological networks of ancient old-growth forests in historically deforested and fragmented landscapes for ectomycorrhizal fungi.

TL;DR: It is deduced that the concept of CS itself was viewed differently among scientists, and this affected experimental protocols, so as to enable the evaluation of their long-term cumulative effects.
