This proceedings contains eight articles dealing with community ecology and functional biodiversity targeting the central compartment of any forest ecosystem: the community of the symbiotic fungi which inhabit the roots. It covers the role of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) communities in the interaction between industrial soil pollution and tree stands and mobilization of nutrients from soil organic matter through the activity of extracellular enzymes, and discusses the general concepts of functional ecology help to understand ectomycorrhizal communities. Case studies explore how ECM communities respond to environmental disturbance and adapt to the resource in terms of species composition and enzymatic activity profile. The present knowledge in ECM community ecology and the use of this knowledge to define indicators of forest health and to the management of edible forest mushrooms with high commercial value, are also discussed.
