Title
Piracy in the high trees: ectomycorrhizal fungi from an aerial ‘canopy soil’ microhabitat

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Nothofagus menziesii canopy roots hosted a diverse assemblage of ectomycorrhizal fungi.
- Observation The Nothofagus canopy roots harbored 14 putative ectomycorrhizal phylotypes.
- Observation The Nothofagus canopy root fungi represented nine genera.
- Observation Clavulina was newly reported forming ectomycorrhizas with Nothofagus.
- Mechanism The authors suggest canopy ectomycorrhizas may improve Nothofagus nutrition.
- Mechanism The authors propose that canopy ectomycorrhizas access nutrients directly in the canopy.
- Association The authors suggest Nothofagus and epiphytes compete for canopy soil nutrients.
