| ericaceous dwarf shrubs affect ectomycorrhizal fungal community of the invasive pinus strobus and native pinus sylvestris in a pot experiment. | this study aimed to elucidate the relationship between ericaceous understorey shrubs and the diversity and abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ecmf) associated with the invasive pinus strobus and native pinus sylvestris. seedlings of both pines were grown in mesocosms and subjected to three treatments simulating different forest microhabitats: (a) grown in isolation and grown with (b) vaccinium myrtillus or (c) vaccinium vitis-idaea. ericaceous plants did not act as a species pool of pine mycobi ... | 2010 | 21161550 |
| reciprocal carbon and nitrogen transfer between an ericaceous dwarf shrub and fungi isolated from piceirhiza bicolorata ectomycorrhizas. | * the overstorey coniferous trees and understorey ericaceous dwarf shrubs of northern temperate and boreal forests have previously been considered to form mycorrhizas with taxonomically and functionally distinct groups of fungi. * here, we tested the hypothesis that meliniomyces variabilis and meliniomyces bicolor, isolated from piceirhiza bicolorata ectomycorrhizas of pine, can function as ericoid mycorrhizal symbionts with vaccinium vitis-idaea. we used split-compartment microcosms to measure ... | 2009 | 19320835 |
