Interaction between trees and soil microbes during early stages of forest formation

Symbiotic soil microbes may play critical roles in host tree establishment, but we know little about the interaction between the soil microbes and host plants during early stages of forest formation. In this study, we used molecular analyses to characterize reproductive strategies of pioneer ectomycorrhizal fungi and bacteria communities associated with ectomycorrhizal root tips, with special reference to vegetation succession.
