Foliar fungal species are diverse and colonize all plants, though whether forest tree species
composition influences the distribution of these fungal communities remains unclear. Fungal …

Fungal communities have been shown to be highly sensitive toward shifts in plant diversity
and species composition in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of …

Despite being major drivers of the dynamics and diversity of plant populations and
communities, the spatial variability of phyllosphere fungal assemblages has been seldom …

Introduction Trees interact with fungi in mutualistic, saprotrophic, and pathogenic
relationships. With their extensive aboveground and belowground structures, trees provide …

Foliar fungal pathogens affect forest ecosystem processes by exerting highly species-
specific impacts on growth and survival of trees. As many ecosystem processes in forests …

Conifer needles are typically long lived and can host a diverse community of fungal species
with various effects on their host tree. The purpose of this study was to analyse shifts in the …

Dead wood quantity and quality is important for forest biodiversity, by determining wood‐
inhabiting fungal assemblages. We therefore evaluated how fungal communities were …

Dead wood constitutes an important substrate for biodiversity in boreal forests. As the wood
decays, fungal communities develop and species associations are formed. Species …

The taxonomically diverse phyllosphere fungi inhabit leaves of plants. Thus, apart from the
fungi's dispersal capacities and environmental factors, the assembly of the phyllosphere …

Fungi are key mediators of ecosystem processes in temperate forests. Hence,
understanding of fungal community development is central to better understand the …
