Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Inocybaceae was notably abundant, especially in woodlands.
- Observation Thelephoraceae was notably abundant, especially in woodlands.
- Observation Sebacinaceae was notably abundant, especially in woodlands.
- Observation Amanitaceae appeared under-represented relative to aboveground abundance.
- Observation Boletacaeae appeared under-represented relative to aboveground abundance.
- Association Boletaceae was more prevalent in rainforest and riparian zones.
- Association Elaphomycetaceae was more prevalent in rainforest and riparian zones.
- Mechanism The authors infer that riparian areas may facilitate spread of rainforest endemic ectomycorrhizal taxa.
- Mechanism The authors suggest local soil and climate can override broad distance-decay patterns in African ectomycorrhizal community structure.
- Association The authors suggest a stronger effect of ectomycorrhizal host specificity than previously proposed.
- Method / resource Over 80% of identified African Lactifluus species hypotheses were represented in herbarium collections.
