Root diameter predicts the extramatrical hyphal exploration distance of the ectomycorrhizal fungal community

Abstract Locally coexisting tree species of temperate forests often vary widely in the diameter of their absorptive roots, resulting in contrasting strategies of root foraging within soil nutrient hot spots. We hypothesized that root diameter would also influence the extramatrical hyphal exploration...
