Fig. 1From: Large-diameter trees and deadwood correspond with belowground ectomycorrhizal fungal richnessConceptual diagram of how fungi may promote (path A) or be selected by large-diameter trees (path B) with time. Under path A the same fungal community endures from tree recruitment to old-growth and promotes the tree survival and growth. Under path B the tree selects different fungal partners as it progresses from recruitment to old-growthBack to article page
