Post-fire Quercus mycorrhizal associations are dominated by Russulaceae, Thelephoraceae, and Laccaria in the southern Appalachian Mountains Open
Following disturbances such as wildfires, oak seedlings must form a symbiotic association with mycorrhizal fungi to survive. Wildfires, however, reduce available mycorrhizal fungal propagules in the soil. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on oak…
