Ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation of conifers increases growth, but not stress resistance: A meta-analysis
Symbiotic relationships with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are critical for the survival and growth of many woody plants, including conifers. Early tree growth is a key predictor of seedling survival and long-term establishment in disturbed environments. Effective regeneration of conifer plantations following disturbances such as insect attack, pathogens or abiotic disturbances such as drought, and metal pollution requires the identification of EMF species capable of colonizing and establishing symbiosis with target conifer hosts under given site conditions. Consequently, interactions between conifer hosts and EMF symbionts have been a focal point of research and forest management for decades. Experimental studies of conifer-EMF interactions carried out under diverse environmental conditions have yielded inconsistent outcomes, complicating the establishment of standardized management protocols. We did a systematic meta-analysis to quantify the extent to which specific EMF species promote growth and stress resistance of conifer hosts in the genera Pinus (pine) and Picea (spruce). A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify experimental studies where pine and/or spruce species were inoculated with a single EMF strain and parameters reflecting tree growth and/or stress resistance were measured. Of the 1806 articles retrieved, 32 studies examining growth effects and 26 studies evaluating stress resistance met the inclusion criteria for quantitative analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that EMF inoculation significantly enhances conifer growth, whereas its impact on stress resistance was not statistically significant. These findings underscore the potential of EMF to support forest regeneration and restoration efforts through improved growth outcomes, while highlighting the need for further research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying stress resistance in conifer-EMF interactions.
期刊介绍:
Forest Ecology and Management publishes scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management, focusing on the application of biological, ecological and social knowledge to the management and conservation of plantations and natural forests. The scope of the journal includes all forest ecosystems of the world.
A peer-review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscripts accepted for publication. The journal encourages communication between scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in ecology and forest management, bridging the gap between research workers and forest managers.
We encourage submission of papers that will have the strongest interest and value to the Journal''s international readership. Some key features of papers with strong interest include:
1. Clear connections between the ecology and management of forests;
2. Novel ideas or approaches to important challenges in forest ecology and management;
3. Studies that address a population of interest beyond the scale of single research sites, Three key points in the design of forest experiments, Forest Ecology and Management 255 (2008) 2022-2023);
4. Review Articles on timely, important topics. Authors are welcome to contact one of the editors to discuss the suitability of a potential review manuscript.
The Journal encourages proposals for special issues examining important areas of forest ecology and management. Potential guest editors should contact any of the Editors to begin discussions about topics, potential papers, and other details.
