Fires occur in most terrestrial ecosystems where they drive changes in the traits,
composition, and diversity of fungal communities. Fires range from rare, stand-replacing …

Temperate and boreal forests are increasingly suffering from anthropic degradation.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are symbionts with most temperate and boreal forest trees …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

Tree litter decomposition on disturbed post-mining sites has been mainly studied within
successional gradients, whereas almost no results were shown from afforested spoil heaps …

Invasive tree species decrease ecosystem resilience with negative impacts on natural
regeneration. The influence of alien tree species on ecosystems is unevenly recognized and …

Human activity is affecting and transforming the natural environment, changing the
ecosystem mosaic and natural biogeochemical processes in urban-industrial landscapes …

Plant diversity and plant-related ecosystem functions have been important in biodiversity-
ecosystem functioning studies. However, biotic interactions with mycorrhizal fungi have …

Recent studies found that the majority of shrub and tree species are associated with both
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. However, our knowledge on …

Forests have expanded across Europe over the last centuries as a consequence of farmland
(agricultural and pasture) abandonment. Agricultural practices usually increase soil fertility …

Tree species effects in afforestation of post-industrial lands have important impacts on
biodiversity of restored sites. We aimed to assess tree species effects on bryophytes in a …
