Forest soils are an important but under-studied part of forest ecosystems. The effects of O(3) on below-ground processes in a mature forest have only received limited attention so far. In our study, we have analysed the community of ectomycorrhizal fungi and beech fine root dynamics over two growing seasons (2003 - 2004) in a 70-year old mixed spruce-beech forest stand, in which two groups of five adult beech trees were either fumigated by 2 x ambient ozone concentration or used as control. The main difference between previous studies and our approach was that previous studies were performed on seedlings in pot experiments or in closed or open top chambers, and not IN SITU, in a mature forest stand. Although beech is a relatively unresponsive species to tropospheric O(3), we found a pronounced effect of 2 x O(3) on the number of vital ectomycorrhizal root tips and non-turgescent fine roots. Both categories of roots were significantly increased when compared to controls in two consecutive years at each sampling event. The number of types of ectomycorrhizae and species richness increased in 2004, but not in the extremely dry year 2003. We hypothesised that the observed changes might be an expression of a transitional state in below-ground succession of niches caused by an O(3) induced effect on carbon allocation to roots and the rhizosphere. We have detected changes in ectomycorrhizal species level, however Shannon-Weavers species diversity index and percentage of types of ectomycorrhizae did not change significantly in any sampling year thus indicating our results cannot be unequivocally explained by summer drought in year 2003 or by O(3) exposure alone. 相似文献

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in forests have only recently attracted increasing attention. The vast majority
of studies in forests have focused on above-ground responses to differences in tree species diversity, while systematic analyses
of the effects of biodiversity on root systems are virtually non-existent. By investigating the fine root systems in 12 temperate
deciduous forest stands in Central Europe, we tested the hypotheses that (1) stand fine root biomass increases with tree diversity,
and (2) ‘below-ground overyielding’ of species-rich stands in terms of fine root biomass is the consequence of spatial niche
segregation of the roots of different species. The selected stands represent a gradient in tree species diversity on similar
bedrock from almost pure beech forests to medium-diverse forests built by beech, ash, and lime, and highly-diverse stands
dominated by beech, ash, lime, maple, and hornbeam. We investigated fine root biomass and necromass at 24 profiles per stand
and analyzed species differences in fine root morphology by microscopic analysis. Fine root biomass ranged from 440 to 480 g m−2 in the species-poor to species-rich stands, with 63–77% being concentrated in the upper 20 cm of the soil. In contradiction
to our two hypotheses, the differences in tree species diversity affected neither stand fine root biomass nor vertical root
distribution patterns. Fine root morphology showed marked distinctions between species, but these root morphological differences
did not lead to significant differences in fine root surface area or root tip number on a stand area basis. Moreover, differences
in species composition of the stands did not alter fine root morphology of the species. We conclude that ‘below-ground overyielding’
in terms of fine root biomass does not occur in the species-rich stands, which is most likely caused by the absence of significant
spatial segregation of the root systems of these late-successional species. 相似文献

This study examined select, naturally-occurring tree mycorrhizae for differences related to efficiency of organic phosphorus
hydrolysis in forest soils. We investigated the activity of several phosphatases and root respiration in field-collected ectomycorrhizae
of American beech and gray birch and VAM of red maple. Root materials were collected in the early and late growing season
from a common soil type. American beech occurred in a late-successional stand, whereas gray birch and red maple grew in a
mid-successional stand. All of the root types examined had phosphatase activities with p-nitrophenyl phosphate, bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate and phytic acid and thus the potential to mineralize monoester and diester forms of organic phosphorus.
Rates of hydrolysis at pH 5.0 were greatest with p-nitrophenyl phosphate. Although enzyme activity varied with season and ectomycorrhizal morphotype, VAM roots of red maple
consistently had the lowest enzyme activities on a length and dry weight basis. Comparison of 32P uptake from inositol phosphate by gray birch and red maple roots suggested that phosphomonoesterase activity was linked
to P uptake from this source. Differences between species in oxygen consumption rates were less pronounced than those observed
for enzymatic activities, suggesting similar short-term energy demands by the root types examined. The quantitative differences
observed between plants growing on a common soil potentially relate to differences in host demand or reflect differences in
basic morphology and/or physiology of associated mycobionts. Further study is necessary to understand the importance of these
enzymes in the functional ecology of mycorrhizal fungi.

High genetic diversity in a population of the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete laccaria amethystina in a 150-year-old beech forest 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The genetic structure of a population of the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Laccaria amethystina (Bolt. ex Hooker) Murr. was assessed in a closed 150-year-old beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest in the Vosges Mountains in northeastern France. During the autumn of 1994 and 1997, sporophores were collected from three 100-m2 sampling plots located along a 120-m transect crossing the beech stand. The genetic variation of 676 sporophores was initially estimated using heteroduplex analysis of the ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer (IGS1). Ten unique IGS1 heteroduplex/homoduplex patterns were identified, although three types represented most of the sporophores analysed. Each group of IGS1 type was then analysed using random amplified microsatellite analysis (RAMS). RAMS resolved 388 different genotypes amongst the 634 sporophores analysed from the three plots during the autumn of 1994 and 1997. Density as high as 130 genets per 100 m2 was observed during the autumn of 1994. The largest clone covered approximately 1 m2, but most genets covered a few cm2 and produced only one to three sporophores. Only eight genotypes identified in 1994 were found in 1997. Although L. amethystina has the capacity for vegetative persistence, the present study indicates that its populations maintain a genetic structure more consistent with a high frequency of sexual reproduction. This suggests that beech trees could be recolonized by new genotypes each year. Alternatively, this spatial distribution may also arise from erratic fruiting of underground persistent genets. These features (i.e. numerous genets of small size), typical of ruderal species, contrast with studies carried out on other ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes occurring in mature closed forests. 相似文献

The importance of species richness to ecosystem functioning and services is a central tenet of biological conservation. However, most of our theory and mechanistic understanding is based on diversity found aboveground. Our study sought to better understand the relationship between diversity and belowground function by studying root biomass across a plant diversity gradient. We collected soil cores from 91 plots with between 1 and 12 aboveground tree species in three natural secondary forests to measure fine root (≤ 2 mm in diameter) biomass. Molecular methods were used to identify the tree species of fine roots and to estimate fine root biomass for each species. This study tested whether the spatial root partitioning (species differ by belowground territory) and symmetric growth (the capacity to colonize nutrient-rich hotspots) underpin the relationship between aboveground species richness and fine root biomass. All species preferred to grow in nutrient-rich areas and symmetric growth could explain the positive relationship between aboveground species richness and fine root biomass. However, symmetric growth only appeared in the nutrient-rich upper soil layer (0–10 cm). Structural equation modelling indicated that aboveground species richness and stand density significantly affected fine root biomass. Specifically, fine root biomass depended on the interaction between aboveground species richness and stand density, with fine root biomass increasing with species richness at lower stand density, but not at higher stand density. Overall, evidence for spatial (i.e. vertical) root partitioning was inconsistent; assumingly any roots growing into deeper unexplored soil layers were not sufficient contributors to the positive diversity–function relationship. Alternatively, density-dependent biotic interactions affecting tree recruitment are an important driver affecting productivity in diverse subtropical forests but the usual root distribution patterns in line with the spatial root partitioning hypothesis are unrealistic in contexts where soil nutrients are heterogeneously distributed. 相似文献

The distribution of fine roots and external ectomycorrhizal mycelium of three species of trees was determined down to a soil depth of 55 cm to estimate the relative nutrient uptake capacity of the trees from different soil layers. In addition, a root bioassay was performed to estimate the nutrient uptake capacity of Rb+ and NH4+ by these fine roots under standardized conditions in the laboratory. The study was performed in monocultures of oak (Quercus robur L.), European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] on sandy soil in a tree species trial in Denmark. The distribution of spruce roots was found to be more concentrated to the top layer (0–11 cm) than that of oak and beech roots, and the amount of external ectomycorrhizal mycelia was correlated to the distribution of the roots. The uptake rate of [86Rb+] by oak roots declined with soil depth, while that of beech or spruce roots was not influenced by soil depth. In modelling the nutrient sustainability of forest soils, the utilization of nutrient resources in deep soil layers has been found to be a key factor. The present study shows that the more shallow-rooted spruce can have a similar capacity to take up nutrients from deeper soil layers than the more deeply rooted oak. The distribution of roots and mycelia may therefore not be a reliable parameter for describing nutrient uptake capacity by tree roots at different soil depths. 相似文献

Respiration activity of ectomycorrhizas from Cenococcum geophilum and Lactarius sp. in relation to soil water potential in five beech forests 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Forest trees are involved in root symbioses with hundreds of species of ectomycorrhizal fungi which constitute functional guilds able to improve the water and mineral nutrition of host trees. In temperate ecosystems, water shortage is a main factor limiting tree vitality. To assess how soil water conditions affected the physiological state of beech (Fagus silvatica L.) ectomycorrhizal roots, we monitored glucose respiration of two ectomycorrhizal types (Lactarius sp. and Cenococcum geophilum) during two complete growing seasons. Five stands of contrasting soil conditions were chosen in north-eastern France. The top soil horizons were equipped with micropsychrometers for measuring water potential and temperature. Glucose respiration on individual ectomycorrhizas was measured in vitro by trapping [14C]-CO2 from radiolabelled glucose. For soil water potential <-0.2 MPa, the potential respiration activity of C. geophilumectomycorrhizas was significantly less altered than that of Lactariussp. ectomycorrhizas, indicating that C. geophilumis more likely than Lactariussp. to maintain the physiological integrity of beech roots facing drought stress. 相似文献

Interactions between host tree species and ectomycorrhizal fungi are important in structuring ectomycorrhizal communities, but there are only a few studies on host influence of congeneric trees. We investigated ectomycorrhizal community assemblages on roots of deciduous Quercus crassifolia and evergreen Quercus laurina in a tropical montane cloud forest, one of the most endangered tropical forest ecosystems. Ectomycorrhizal fungi were identified by sequencing internal transcribed spacer and partial 28S rRNA gene. We sampled 80 soil cores and documented high ectomycorrhizal diversity with a total of 154 taxa. Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that oak host was significant in explaining some of the variation in ectomycorrhizal communities, despite the fact that the two Quercus species belong to the same red oak lineage (section Lobatae ). A Tuber species, found in 23% of the soil cores, was the most frequent taxon. Similar to oak-dominated ectomycorrhizal communities in temperate forests, Thelephoraceae, Russulaceae and Sebacinales were diverse and dominant. 相似文献

Ectomycorrhizal mats in forest soils have a wide global distribution and have been noted as potentially important elements in forest soil nutrient cycling. To elucidate the relationship between ectomycorrhizal mats and their environment, we undertook field studies and spatial analyses of mat distributions at different spatial scales.We used two experimental approaches to study mat-forming ectomycorrhizal fungi in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest in the United States. In the first approach, ectomycorrhizal mats and other forest floor features were mapped in 2 × 10 m plots and digitized into a geographical information system (GIS) for spatial pattern analysis. In order to examine larger-scale phenomena, a second approach involving other sites was taken; soil cores were taken along 30-m transects, and distance to the closest living potential host tree was calculated for each core.Mat patterns were studied at two scales: (1) within-stand level (i.e. variability attributed to distribution of other mat species, forest floor attributes, and understory vegetation); and (2) stand level (i.e. variability expressed along a successional gradient). Mat distribution was influenced by: (1) the proximity of one mat to another; (2) the distance from the mat to the closest living tree; (3) the density of living trees in a stand; and (4) the successional stage of the stand.Although GIS analysis indicated that mats of different morphologies did not physically overlap, there was a tendency for clustering of mats. No apparent correlations were observed between forest floor features and mats located within the 2 × 10 m grids. On the scale of tens of meters, mats decreased with distance from the closest potential host tree. Spatial patterns of mat distributions in harvested sites suggest that these mats may persist at least 2 years after their host trees have been cut. For Gautieria mats, total mat area, size, and frequency differed with stand age.This study has demonstrated the importance of both spatial scaling and forest stand age when the natural distribution of mycorrhizal fungi is examined. Results suggest the need for mat research directed at higher-order scales (e.g. stand and watershed) that will provide accurate information for managing forests to ensure their survival and normal function. ei]J H Graham 相似文献

The inoculum of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi was examined in a 16 y long nitrogen fertilization experiment maintained in a temperate oak savanna. To measure EM fungal inoculum, bur oak seedlings were grown in three types of bioassays: (i) intact soil cores that measure inoculum such as spores, mycelia and mycorrhizal roots; (ii) resistant propagule bioassays that measure inoculum types resistant to soil drying; and (iii) previously mycorrhizal root bioassays that measure the ability of EM fungi to colonize new roots from mycorrhizal roots. Colonization of bur oak seedlings was characterized by morphotyping and where necessary by restriction analysis and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. Fourteen morphotypes were found in intact soil core bioassays with species of Cortinarius, Cenococcum and Russula abundant. Five morphotypes were found in resistant propagule bioassays with Cenococcum, a thelephoroid morphotype and a Wilcoxina-like ascomycete abundant and frequent. In intact soil core bioassays total percent root colonization and number of morphotypes were not affected by N supply in 2000 and 2001. However the composition of EM fungi colonizing oak seedling roots was different with increased N supply such that Russula spp. (primarily Russula aff. amoenolens) were most abundant at the highest level of N supply. Dominant Russula spp. did not colonize any roots in resistant propagule bioassays but did colonize oak seedling roots from previously mycorrhizal roots. Results suggest that in this savanna N supply can influence the kinds of inoculum propagules present and thereby might affect the dynamics of ectomycorrhizal communities by differentially influencing reproductive and colonization strategies. 相似文献

The effect on ectomycorrhizal root growth in a nitrogen-enriched planted stand of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on podzolic sandy soil to manipulation of litter and humus layers (removal, doubling and control treatments) was examined,
and compared to ectomycorrhizal root growth in an untreated naturally established Scots pine stand on nutrient-poor non-podzolic
sandy soil. Half a year after manipulation of litter and humus layers in the planted stand, ingrowth-cores to a depth of 60 cm
were installed in both stands. Scots pine roots were sampled four times during two growing seasons. Ectomycorrhizal roots
were found at all sampled soil depths to 60 cm in all plots. Root growth and ectomycorrhizal development were greater in the
naturally established stand than in all plots in the planted stand. Numbers of ectomycorrhizal root tips in the litter and
humus removal plots were generally higher than in the control plots in the planted stand until May 1992. Doubling litter and
humus did not significantly affect root length or the numbers of ectomycorrhizal root tips. The N
dissolved
, NH4
+ and NO3
– concentrations and the organic matter content in the upper 5 cm of the mineral soil in the planted stand on podzolic sandy
soil were generally higher and the pH significantly lower than in the naturally established stand on non-podzolic sandy soil.
Root growth and ectomycorrhizal development in the secondary stand may have been negatively affected by the chemical composition
of the podzolic sandy soil.

Abstract Fine roots (<2 mm) are very dynamic and play a key role in forest ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycling and accumulation. We reviewed root biomass data of three main European tree species European beech, (Fagus sylvatica L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), in order to identify the differences between species, and within and between vegetation zones, and to show the relationships between root biomass and the climatic, site and stand factors. The collected literature consisted of data from 36 beech, 71 spruce and 43 pine stands. The mean fine root biomass of beech was 389 g m?2, and that of spruce and pine 297 g m?2 and 277 g m?2, respectively. Data from pine stands supported the hypothesis that root biomass is higher in the temperate than in the boreal zone. The results indicated that the root biomass of deciduous trees is higher than that of conifers. The correlations between root biomass and site fertility characteristics seemed to be species specific. There was no correlation between soil acidity and root biomass. Beech fine root biomass decreased with stand age whereas pine root biomass increased with stand age. Fine root biomass at tree level correlated better than stand level root biomass with stand characteristics. The results showed that there exists a strong relationship between the fine root biomass and the above-ground biomass. 相似文献

Ectomycorrhizal fungi constitute an important component of forest ecosystems that enhances plant nutrition and resistance against stresses. Diversity of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi is, however, affected by host plant diversity and soil heterogeneity. This study provides information about the influence of host plants and soil resources on the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal fruiting bodies from rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on the presence of fungal fruiting bodies, significant differences in the number of ectomycorrhizal fungi species existed between forest stand types (p < 0.001). The most ectomycorrhizal species‐rich forest was the Gilbertiodendron dewevrei‐dominated forest (61 species). Of all 93 species of ectomycorrhizal fungi, 19 demonstrated a significant indicator value for particular forest stand types. Of all analysed edaphic factors, the percentage of silt particles was the most important parameter influencing EcM fungi host plant tree distribution. Both host trees and edaphic factors strongly affected the distribution and diversity of EcM fungi. EcM fungi may have developed differently their ability to successfully colonise root systems in relation to the availability of nutrients. 相似文献

Differences in spatial rooting patterns among coexisting species have been recognized as an important mechanism for generating
biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning. However, it is not yet clear whether complementarity in root space exploration
is a universal characteristic of multi-species woody communities. In a temperate broad-leaved forest with a mosaic of species-poor
and species-rich stands, we tested two hypotheses related to putative below-ground ‘overyielding’ in more diverse forests,
(1) that species mixture results in a partial spatial segregation of the fine root systems of different species, and (2) that
stand fine root biomass increases with tree species diversity. We investigated 12 stands either with one, three, or five dominant
tree species (4 replicate stands each) under similar soil and climate conditions for stand fine root biomass and spatial root
segregation in vertical and horizontal direction in the soil. Fine roots of different tree species were identified using a
morphological key based on differences in colour, periderm surface structure, and branching patterns. In species-poor and
species-rich stands, and in all tree species present, fine root density (biomass per soil volume) decreased exponentially
with soil depth at very similar rates. Stand fine root biomass in the densely rooted upper soil (0–40 cm depth) was not significantly
different between stands with 1, 3 or 5 dominant tree species. We conclude that ‘below-ground overyielding’ in terms of higher
fine root biomasses in species-rich stands as compared to monospecific ones does not occur in these broad-leaved forests which
most likely results from a missing complementarity in vertical rooting patterns of the present tree species. 相似文献

Liming (Ca–Mg soil amendment) is a forestry practice used to correct soil acidification and restore health and productivity
in declining stands. Liming is known to modify tree mineral nutrition beyond the sole Ca and Mg. We hypothesized that liming
also modifies the very functioning of the tree absorbing system (that is the ectomycorrhizal fine roots) in a way that facilitates
the mobilization of mineral nutrients, particularly those entrapped in soil organic matter. This hypothesis has been tested
here in beech and Norway spruce stands in North-Eastern France. In autumn, we compared the ectomycorrhizal community structure
and the enzymatic profiles of ectomycorrhizal root tips in limed and untreated plots by measuring the activities of eight
enzymes related to the degradation of soil organic matter. The results show that the ectomycorrhizal community responds to
the Ca–Mg amendment and to the resulting soil modifications by modified enzyme activity profiles and ability to mobilize nutrients
from soil organic matter. The effects of liming on the belowground functioning of the tree stands result essentially from
specialized ECM fungal species such as Clavulina cristata (with strong glucuronidase activity), Lactarius subdulcis (with strong laccase activity) or Xerocomus pruinatus (with strong leucine aminopeptidase activity). 相似文献

Disproportionate abundance between ectomycorrhizal root tips and their associated mycelia 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Kjøller R 《FEMS microbiology ecology》2006,58(2):214-224
Extensive knowledge of various ectomycorrhizal fungal communities has been obtained over the past 10 years based on molecular identification of the fungi colonizing fine roots. In contrast, only limited information exists about the species composition of ectomycorrhizal hyphae in soil. This study compared the ectomycorrhizal external mycelial community with the adjacent root-tip community in a Danish beech forest. Sand-filled in-growth mesh bags were used to trap external mycelia by incubating the mesh bags in the soil for 70 days. The adjacent ectomycorrhizal root-tip communities were recorded at the times of insertion and retrieval of the mesh bags. Ectomycorrhizal fungi were identified by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer region. In total, 20, 31 and 24 ectomycorrhizal species were recorded from the two root-tip harvests and from the mesh bags, respectively. Boletoid species were significantly more frequent as mycelia than as root tips, while russuloid and Cortinarius species appeared to be less dominant as mycelia than as root tips. Tomentella species were equally frequent as root tips and as mycelia. These discrepancies between the root-tip and the mycelial view of the ectomycorrhizal fungal community are discussed within the framework of ectomycorrrhizal exploration types. 相似文献

Soil core and root ingrowth core methods for assessing fine-root (< 2 mm) biomass and production were compared in a 38-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L) stand in eastern Finland. 140 soil cores and 114 ingrowth cores were taken from two mineral soil layers (0–10 cm and 10–30 cm) during 1985–1988. Seasonal changes in root biomass (including both Scots pine and understorey roots) and necromass were used for calculating fine-root production. The Scots pine fine-root biomass averaged annually 143 g/m2 and 217 g/m2 in the upper mineral soil layer, and 118 g/m2 and 66 g/m2 in the lower layer of soil cores and ingrowth cores, respectively. The fine-root necromass averaged annually 601 g/m2 and 311 g/m2 in the upper mineral soil layer, and 196 g/m2 and 159 g/m2 in the lower layer of soil cores and ingrowth cores, respectively. The annual fine-root production in a Scots pine stand in the 30 cm thick mineral soil layer, varied between 370–1630 g/m2 in soil cores and between 210 – 490 g/m2 in ingrowth cores during three years. The annual production calculated for Scots pine fine roots, varied between 330–950 g/m2 in soil cores and between 110 – 610 g/m2 in ingrowth cores. The horizontal and vertical variation in fine-root biomass was smaller in soil cores than in ingrowth cores. Roots in soil cores were in the natural dynamic state, while the roots in the ingrowth cores were still expanding both horizontally and vertically. The annual production of fine-root biomass in the Scots pine stand was less in root ingrowth cores than in soil cores. During the third year, the fine-root biomass production of Scots pine, when calculated by the ingrowth core method, was similar to that calculated by the soil core method. Both techniques have sources of error. In this research the sampling interval in the soil core method was 6–8 weeks, and thus root growth and death between sampling dates could not be accurately estimated. In the ingrowth core method, fine roots were still growing into the mesh bags. In Finnish conditions, after more than three growing seasons, roots in the ingrowth cores can be compared with those in the surrounding soil. The soil core method can be used for studying both the annual and seasonal biomass variations. For estimation of production, sampling should be done at short intervals. The ingrowth core method is more suitable for estimating the potential of annual fine-root production between different site types. 相似文献

Root-associated fungi, including ectomycorrhizal and root-endophytic fungi, are among the most diverse and important belowground plant symbionts in dipterocarp rainforests. Our study aimed to reveal the biodiversity, host association, and community structure of ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycota and root-associated Ascomycota (including root-endophytic Ascomycota) in a lowland dipterocarp rainforest in Southeast Asia. The host plant chloroplast ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) region and fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region were sequenced using tag-encoded, massively parallel 454 pyrosequencing to identify host plant and root-associated fungal taxa in root samples. In total, 1245 ascomycetous and 127 putative ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetous taxa were detected from 442 root samples. The putative ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycota were likely to be associated with closely related dipterocarp taxa to greater or lesser extents, whereas host association patterns of the root-associated Ascomycota were much less distinct. The community structure of the putative ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycota was possibly more influenced by host genetic distances than was that of the root-associated Ascomycota. This study also indicated that in dipterocarp rainforests, root-associated Ascomycota were characterized by high biodiversity and indistinct host association patterns, whereas ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycota showed less biodiversity and a strong host phylogenetic preference for dipterocarp trees. Our findings lead to the working hypothesis that root-associated Ascomycota, which might be mainly represented by root-endophytic fungi, have biodiversity hotspots in the tropics, whereas biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycota increases with host genetic diversity. 相似文献

The ectomycorrhizal fungal associations of Douglas fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii D. Don) and bishop pine ( Pinus muricata D. Don) were investigated in a mixed forest stand. We identified fungi directly from field-collected ectomycorrhizal (ECM) root tips using PCR-based methods. Sixteen species of fungi were found, of which twelve associated with both hosts. Rhizopogon parksii Smith was specific to Douglas fir. Three other species colonized only one of the hosts, but were too infrequent to draw conclusions about specificity. Seventy-four percent of the biomass of ECM root tips sampled in the stand were colonized by members of the Thelephoraceae and Russulaceae. All 12 species of fungi that associated with both tree species did so within a 10×40 cm soil volume, suggesting that individual fungal genotypes linked the putatively competing tree hosts. 相似文献
