Diversity of Ecto-mycorrhizal Fungal Communities in Relation to the Abiotic Environment

  • Chapter
Mycorrhizal Ecology

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 157))

Abstract

In boreal forest ecosystems, the richness and complexity of ecto-mycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities are in striking contrast to the often species-poor stands of host trees. The factors that influence community development and maintain this high EM fungal diversity are, however, poorly understood. There are very few studies that have examined determinants of EM fungal diversity under natural undisturbed systems, with most studies examining diversity in relation to changes in abiotic factors due to pollution and/or forest management practices. In this chapter, we attempt to compile what little data are available on natural factors and suggest some areas for future studies. The great majority of the chapter is however, concerned with anthropogenic influences upon EM fungal diversity.
