| Research Abstract |
Japanese Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga japonica) is restricted to localities on the Kii peninsula and on eastern Shikoku island in Japan. Previous censuses of P. japonica) estimated the remaining number of individuals at around 1,000. With increasing awareness of its extinction risk, P. japonica is now designated as an Endangered species II (VU). I studied Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities on four P. japonica forests. Dominant ECM fungi found on the existing roots in P. japonica forests included Cenococcum geophilum, Russulaceae, Boletaceae, Cortinariaceae species, all of which are not specific to Pseudotsuga. The richness estimator for ECM fungi on these four forests and only P. japonica was at least 344 and 218, respectively.
