We explored fungal community assembly during spontaneous primary succession in roots of two dominant trees Salix caprea and Betula pendula along a primary successional chronosequence (12-, 20-, 30- and 50-year old sites) on a mine spoil bank in the Czech Republic. Communities of ectomycorrhizal fungi, fungal plant pathogens and fungal root endophytes changed statistically significantly along the successional chronosequence. Fungal taxa with tight ecological relationship to plants assembled with close feedback to plant communities, which changed along the chronosequence, whereas communities of fungal endophytes developed more stochastically during the primary succession.
