【摘要】Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.) forests cover the largest areas in the Eurasian boreal zone,but there are insufficient data on its root system including the structure and functional traits of ectomycorrhizas (EM).The aim of this research is to find out if the morphological parameters of Larix sibirica EMs responded to the changes in elevation and main ecological factors (soil humidity,soil richness,soil acidity and habitat illumination).Using light microscopy,we studied EM diameter,root diameter,mantle width,and mantle volume share,share of tannin cells layers,EM density and EM length of Larix sibirica in two main types of plant communities along the elevation gradient at the Northern and Subpolar Urals.Differences in the environment were traced using phytoindication approach and the Ellenberg ecological scales.All the studied traits depend on the elevation and studied ecological factors.The diversity of fungal mantles is low,and the proportion of unstructured and pseudoparenchymatous mantles is high in response to the deterioration of the humidity,soil
