Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes such as decomposition and nutrient cycling,
but have also been highlighted as significant contributors to organic matter build‐up in …

Soil fungi are fundamental drivers of forest ecosystem processes. Soil physico-chemical
parameters and vegetation features such as host type or stand structure can affect soil …

We assessed the diversity and composition of fungal communities in different functional
tissues and the rhizosphere soil of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies stands along the …

Predicted changes in global climate might negatively affect the soil microbiome and
associated ecosystem processes in Mediterranean forests. Forest treatments, such as forest …

At the global scale, most forest research on biodiversity focuses on aboveground organisms.
However, understanding the structural associations between aboveground and …

Saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) forest fungi decompose organic matter and
mobilize nutrients for host plants, respectively. Competition between the two guilds may …

The aim was to assess fungal communities associated with living needles and soil of Pinus
sylvestris in managed and unmanaged forest stands to get a better understanding of …

To address the ecological challenges arising from pure forest plantations and the wood
supply–demand imbalance, implementing sustainable forest management is paramount …

Macrofungi are among the most crucial ecological forest resources and essential
components of terrestrial ecosystems. Despite growing socio-economic interest, knowledge …

In forests, ectomycorrhizal mycelium is pivotal for driving soil carbon and nutrient cycles, but
how ectomycorrhizal mycelial dynamics vary in ecosystems with drought periods is …
