Abstract	Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities are affected by many abiotic and biotic factors, among which host identity is often regarded as the most significant. Although little about ECM fungal communities on endangered tree species is known, knowledge of their ECM associations could be a key to conservation given the functional importance of the symbiosis.We collected 73 soil samples from three relict forests dominated by endangered Chinese Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga sinensis). Identity of fungal and host species in individual ECM tips was determined by morphotyping and DNA analyses.Of the 86 ECM fungal species identified, 66 were observed on Chinese Douglas-firs. While the fungal composition did not significantly differ between coexisting trees (p = 0.843), the composition was significantly separated based on location (p = 0.021). Moreover, the observed ECM fungal communities were dissimilar to those on the Japanese Douglas-fir (p = 0.001), which is monophyletic to Chinese Douglas-fir.Our results indicate that ECM fungal communities are determined more by geographical location than host monophyly on this spatial (c.770–1,600 km) and geological time scale ( c. 20–25 My). For conservation of endangered trees, it may be important to preserve local ECM fungal pools, irrespective of host species.
