Metabarcoding of root-associated ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in andean-patagonian Nothofagus forests

We investigate the biodiversity, relative abundance, and composition of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in relation to two host-tree species and age and soil properties in six monospecific and mixed evergreen-deciduous Nothofagus forests. We used the ITS2 region by sequencing 9.600 ECM root tips for the identification of fungi
