Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species list generated from root tip count data from eight-year-old chestnut roots pooled from the three sites (n = 150). ECM genera are listed alphabetically along with their abbreviation used in the NMDS ordination (Figure 1). Abundance is shown as percentages generated from root tip count data. Total ECM species richness is reported below.
