Based on fungal fruitbodies, Borgen et al. [53] estimate that there are 238 ectomycorrhizal fungal species in Greenland, which may increase to around 250 out of a total of 855 basidiomyceteous fungi in Greenland when some large fungal genera such as Cortinarius and Inocybe have been revised.

Leaf 15N abundance of subarctic plants provides field evidence that ericoid, ectomycorrhizal and non - and arbuscular mycorrhizal species access different sources of soil nitrogen.
-
These trees have the ability to grow in acidic, shallow infertile soils because they establish ectomycorrhizal symbioses with types of fungi.
-
Miombo is notable among dry tropical woodlands for the dominance of tree species with ectomycorrhizal rather than vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal associations.
-
Only pine trees, which have an ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi, are capable of obtaining in this way a sufficient amount of food sources to achieve the size of trees. biomesDeciduous forests have a single tree story made up of primarily coniferous trees, and a dense xerophytic brushy story of mainly rubiaceae, euforbiaceae, mirtaceae, and melastomataceae.

Scientists have long suspected that ectomycorrhizal fungi - those that live symbiotically on the roots of plants - play a major role in erosion and soil formation, but exactly how these fungi alter minerals was poorly understood, says Steeve Bonneville, a biogeochemist at the University of Leeds in England.
