Abstract:
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structures can vary across sites at a regional scale (>1,000 km), affected by abiotic and biotic environments, dispersal abilities of the fungi, or ecological drift, even among forests of the same host tree species. The spatial patterns of such variation may differ among associated host species and their growth environments, but our knowledge about this remains limited. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the ECM fungal community structures (i.e. species richness and species composition) at the regional scale and their driving factors vary across hosts.
