Given the increase in habitat fragmentation in the Mediterranean forests, understanding its
impacts over the ecology of soil microbial communities, responsible for many ecosystem …

Plant leaves host species rich communities of foliar endophytic fungi (FEF). Compared to the
other compartments of the plant microbiome, FEF diversity is poorly known. Here we …

Fungal assemblages after a large-scale disturbance can be diverse and have functionally
important roles in forests. However, fungi include several functional groups, and the …

Forest management aimed to maximize timber production might impact soil fungi, especially
those symbiotically associated to tree roots. In this study, we analyse the temporal dynamics …

Diversity of forest macrofungal communities is strongly influenced by various management
approaches. These effects have so far only been studied in certain types of forest stands and …

Aim The relative contribution of community functional diversity and composition to
ecosystem functioning is a critical question in ecology in order to enable better predictions of …

Holm oak is one of the most abundant tree-forming species in the Mediterranean area,
hosting a great number of fungal species that are fundamental for the functioning of these …

Aims The extent to which the spatial and temporal patterns of soil microbial and available
nutrient pools hold across different Mediterranean forest types is unclear impeding the …

Climate change, which leads to higher temperatures, droughts, and storms, is expected to
have a strong effect on both health of forest trees and associated biodiversity. The aim of this …

The health, growth, and fitness of boreal forest trees are impacted and improved by their
associated microbiomes. Microbial gene expression and functional activity can be assayed …
