The occurrence of suitable mycorrhizal inocula may be an important factor affecting the
dynamics of plant communities. We investigated the persistence and diversity of ericoid …

Many ericaceous species colonize as pioneer plants substrates ranging from arid sandy
soils to moist mor humus, in association with their mycorrhizal fungi. Thanks to the symbiosis …

Mycorrhiza samples of neighbouring Quercus ilex and Erica arborea plants collected in a
postcutting habitat were processed to see whether plants differing in mycorrhizal status …

Reconstitution of the potential of soil mycorrhizal inoculum is a key step in revegetation
programs for semiarid environments. We tested the effectiveness of inoculation with native …

Ericoid mycorrhiza is a mutualistic relationship between several lineages of plants in the
family Ericaceae (Cassiopoideae, Ericoideae, Harrimanelloideae, Styphelioideae, and …

Despite the ecological significance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, little is known about the
abiotic and biotic factors driving their diversity and community composition. To determine the …

Plants that form ericoid mycorrhizal associations are widespread in harsh habitats. Ericoid
mycorrhizal fungal endophytes are a genetically diverse group, and they appear to be able …

Ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi are a diverse assemblage of symbiotic fungi that features
culturable ascomycetes in the Helotiales and Onygenales, but also so far unculturable …

Three hundred and twenty-seven fungal endophyte isolates were obtained from hair roots of
neighbouring Woollsia pungens Cav.(Muell.) and Leucopogon parviflorus (Andr.) Lindl.(both …

We analysed the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal diversity in a Mediterranean old-growth
Quercus ilex forest stand from Corsica (France), where Arbutus unedo was the only other …
