Soil fungi are vital for regulating ecosystem carbon balance and productivity, by driving
processes related to soil carbon and nutrient cycling. The rate and capacity of fungi …

The goal of this project was to study how fungal communities in Mediterranean forests
dominated by Pinus pinaster are influenced by different edaphoclimatic conditions …

Forest disturbances have a strong effect on soil fungal communities and associated
ecosystem processes. However, little is known about the response of mycelial biomass to …

Fungi have important roles as decomposers, mycorrhizal root symbionts and pathogens in
forest ecosystems, but there is limited information about their diversity and composition at …

Soil microclimate is a potentially important regulator of the composition of plant‐associated
fungal communities in climates with significant drought periods. Here, we investigated the …

Pinus uncinata is a species frequently growing in the tree line limit of southwestern
European subalpine ecosystems, hosting fungal communities that provide relevant …

Fungal communities are especially relevant in Mediterranean regions, a 'hotspot'of fungal
diversity, and where the value of edible commercial sporocarps may be much higher than …

Fungi provide relevant ecosystem services contributing to primary productivity and the
cycling of nutrients in forests. These fungal inputs can be decisive for the resilience of …

Fungi are a highly diverse group of soil organisms greatly contributing to the functioning of
forest ecosystems. Consequently, the understanding of factors affecting their productivity …

Coniferous needles in litter harbour rich fungal communities. A high diversity of microfungi in
pine needles has been documented since the first systematic surveys aimed at culturable …
