mycobionts of salix herbacea on a glacier forefront in the austrian alps.	dwarf willows (e.g. salix herbacea) are among the earliest ectomycorrhizal (em) plants colonising primary successional sites such as glacier forefronts in the tyrolean alps. em of s. herbacea were sampled at the rotmoos glacier forefront (otz valley, austria) three times a year during the growing season and once a year during winter when plants were covered with snow in 2005 and 2006. em were investigated using morphological methods and by sequencing the rdna its region. the degree of em mycorrh ...	2008	18365257
weak habitat specificity in ectomycorrhizal communities associated with salix herbacea and salix polaris in alpine tundra.	this study explores mid-alpine ectomycorrhizal communities on salix herbacea and salix polaris in plant communities differing in nutrient status and snow conditions. plant species were identified by tracking roots back to above ground structures while fungal species were identified using molecular methods. the fungi were identified to 34 molecular operational taxonomic units (motus)/species but species accumulation curves indicated that the communities were only partially sampled. the estimated ...	2011	20680357
