Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Beneath the millennial Alerce Abuelo, soil fungal richness was 2.25 higher than the mean richness per sample.
- Observation Soil beneath the Alerce Abuelo harbored 361 unique fungal OTUs.
- Observation Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal richness beneath the Alerce Abuelo was 1.75 times higher than the mean richness per sample.
- Association Soil and AM fungal richness correlated positively with diameter at breast height and tree biomass.
- Association Available phosphorus was the best predictor of fungal community composition.
- Method / resource EUKARYOME detected more mycorrhizal taxa than MaarjAM for SSU (AM fungi).
- Method / resource EUKARYOME detected more mycorrhizal taxa than UNITE for ITS2 (ectomycorrhizal fungi).
- Recommendation The authors recommend carefully evaluating the approaches used for assigning mycorrhizal guilds in comparative studies.
- Observation The authors conclude large-diameter Alerce trees can act as umbrella species for soil and mycorrhizal fungi.
