Thesamples, corresponding to one tree mergedin one composite sample subjected to furtherp<strong>ro</strong>cessing.

The descriptions of themorphotypes are based on mac<strong>ro</strong>scopic charactersfollowing the adapted p<strong>ro</strong>tocol afterAgerer (1987-2002). Actual mycorrhizas wereconrmed mic<strong>ro</strong>scopically by the existence ofthe Hartig net <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> mycorrhizal mantle (Nylundet al., 1982).Quantitative analysis. Comparison ofthe mycorrhizal status (relative frequencies ofactive mycorrhizal apices) in 5 <strong>ro</strong>ot samplestaken f<strong>ro</strong>m <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Quercus</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>cerris</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> at Dobreti wasperformed by means of One-Way ANOVA. Aprevious test of variance homogeneity (Bartlett)conrmed the lack of signicant differenceswith respect to the variances amongsamples. Also Tukey test of pair-wise multiplecomparisons was performed in order to detectany signicant differences in mycorrhizationfrequency in the 5 samples set collected f<strong>ro</strong>m<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>Quercus</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>cerris</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> <strong>ro</strong>ots at Dobreti. This locationwas selected to perform the specied statisticalanalyses due to the fact that it corresponds tothe highest diversity of morphotypes found atany location, at a particular moment.The association status of different morphotypeswith Coenococcum geophilum Fr., mostfrequently encountered morphotype, was assessedusing Yule coefcient of association.Yule’s Q coefcient of association is a symmetricmeasure, based on the difference betweenconcordant (meaning both absences a,<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> both presences, d) <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> discordant (meaningabsence-presence data, b <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> presence-absencedata, c) data pairs (Singh, 2004).Q = (ad-bc)/(cd+bc)The coefcient takes values between -1 <st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>1: -1 corresponds to a complete exclusion ofthe species, 0 corresponds to r<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng>om associations<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> 1 to constant associations. Q statisticdenes null relationship as statistical independence.Hierarchical cluster analysis of tree species<st<strong>ro</strong>ng>and</st<strong>ro</strong>ng> locations, with regard to mycorrhizal morphotypes,was performed after the calculationof the Sørensen similarity index.
