Description:
Elevated CO2 and temperature effects on ectomycorrhizal diversity were studied during the first part of a 3-4 year exposure using Douglas-fir seedlings. ctomycorrhizae (ECM) are sorted into morphotypes by gross morphology. umber of ECM tips and number of morphotypes increased as exposure progressed indicating adjustment from nursery to native soil. reatments may affect number of tips in the Rhizopogon morphotypes differentially by season. impson's index changed by season and was affected by temperature. orphotype diversity as the exposure continues may affect dominance of the Rhizopogon sp. group.
