“Ectomycorrhizal exploration type” could be a functional trait explaining the spatial distribution of tree symbiotic fungi as a function of forest humus forms
In European forests, most tree species form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The EM fungi are classified...
