In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …

Fires occur in most terrestrial ecosystems where they drive changes in the traits,
composition, and diversity of fungal communities. Fires range from rare, stand-replacing …

After severe wildfires, pine recovery depends on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal spores
surviving and serving as partners for regenerating forest trees. We took advantage of a …

Soil fungal communities perform many functions that help plants meet their nutritional
demands. However, overall trends for fungal response to fire, which can be especially …

Wildfire is the dominant disturbance in boreal forests and fire activity is increasing in these
regions. Soil fungal communities are important for plant growth and nutrient cycling postfire …

Wildfires are a pervasive disturbance in boreal forests, and the frequency and intensity of
boreal wildfires is expected to increase with climate warming. Boreal forests store a large …

Mega‐fires of unprecedented size, intensity and socio‐economic impacts have surged
globally due to climate change, fire suppression and development. Soil microbiomes are …

A growing body of molecular research is discovering a high diversity of pezizalean
ectomycorrhiza (EcM), yet most remain unidentified at the genus or species level. This study …

Wildfires and prescribed burns constitute widespread and potentially destructive
disturbances in forest ecosystems. Fire-related effects on aboveground ecosystem …
