Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial structure and the effects of host and soil environments on communities of ectomycorrhizal fungi in wooded savannas and rain forests of Continental Africa and Madagascar
Leho Tedersoo,Mohammad Bahram,Teele Jairus,Eneke Bechem,Stephen Chinoya,Rebecca Mpumba,Miguel E. Leal,Emile Randrianjohany,Sylvain G. Razafimandimbison,Ave Sadam,Triin Naadel,Urmas Kõljalg,Urmas Kõljalg +12 more
TL;DR: The low level of host preference indirectly supports an earlier hypothesis that pioneer Phyllanthaceae may facilitate the establishment of late successional Fabaceae and potentially other EcM host trees by providing compatible fungal inoculum in deforested and naturally disturbed ecosystems of tropical Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional-scale in-depth analysis of soil fungal diversity reveals strong pH and plant species effects in Northern Europe

TL;DR: It is found that soil pH has the strongest effect on the diversity of fungi and its multiple taxonomic and functional groups, and the positive effects of tree diversity on overall fungal richness represent a combined niche effect of soil properties and intimate associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards standardization of the description and publication of next-generation sequencing datasets of fungal communities.

TL;DR: A glimpse into the past of land plants and of their mycorrhizal affairs: from fossils to evo-devo, as well as new insights in the twenty first century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal patterns of orchid mycorrhizal fungi in meadows and forests as revealed by 454 pyrosequencing
TL;DR: Temporal changes in OrM fungal communities in roots of certain species indicate selection of suitable fungal species by plants, but it remains to be elucidated whether these shifts depend on functional differences inside roots, seasonality, climate or succession.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the realised niches of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) virtual taxa (VT; approximately species-level phylogroups) were modelled and found that environmental and spatial variables jointly explained VT distribution worldwide, with temperature and pH being the most important abiotic drivers.
