“…The importance of EcMs for dipterocarp seedling growth and performance has been reviewed recently (Brearley 2011) and so this topic is only briefly addressed herein. Numerous nursery experiments show that EcMs improve dipterocarp seedling growth and nutrient uptake (Hadi & Santoso 1988, 1989, Santoso 1988, 1991, Lee & Alexander 1994, Turjaman et al 2005, Lee et al 2002b, Lee et al 2008) and facilitate access to organic N sources .…”

“…In contrast, the work of Turjaman et al (2007) in degraded peat swamp forest did show improved growth of inoculated dipterocarp seedlings when outplanted in a degraded peat swamp area. In many cases, such as in logged forests, EcM colonization occurs rapidly and naturally (Lee & Alexander 1996, Lee et al 1996b and under such conditions inoculation might not be worthwhile (Brearley 2011).

“…The focus is on the role of EcMs in improving seedling growth and performance (see also Brearley 2011), and on EcM species diversity and factors affecting patterns of diversity. The vast majority of current work is from the Asian dipterocarps and studies on these species, therefore, form most of the body of this review.…”

“…The range of fungal species that form EcMs on dipterocarps is then explored, and how new molecular techniques have improved our knowledge of dipterocarp EcMs is outlined. Throughout the 1990s to mid-2000s the IUFRO-SPDC funded BIO-REFOR conferences led to more work being published in the region; although some of these articles were valuable, many had limited value due to inappropriate design or lack of detail in reporting (Brearley 2011). Colonization by other symbiotic fungi is briefly assessed.…”

Dipterocarps are one of the most important tree families in the lowland forests of Southeast Asia and are somewhat unusual among tropical trees in that they form ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiotic root-inhabiting fungal associations. It has been hypothesized that dipterocarps have been partnered in this mutualistic association prior to the separation of Gondwana. Under many conditions EcMs form rapidly on dipterocarp seedlings through inocula present in the soil, although few studies have been conducted to provide evidence that they improve seedling establishment and performance. There are hundreds of EcM species associated with dipterocarps. Fungal fruit body surveys suggest that the most important families are Amanitaceae, Boletaceae, and Russulaceae, although Thelephoraceae also become numerically important when root tips are examined. EcM communities are affected by various biotic and abiotic factors, as well as anthropogenic perturbations, and the importance of these in structuring EcM communities is examined herein.
