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 …

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 …

Wood-inhabiting fungi are major decomposers of organic matter in forest systems, playing a
crucial role for the maintenance of critical ecosystem processes. Despite their importance …

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

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 …

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 …

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

Mediterranean forest ecosystems are characterized by various vascular plant groups with
their associated mycorrhizae and free living soil fungi with various ecological functions. Fire …

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 …

Ecological and taxonomic knowledge is important for conservation and utilization of
biodiversity. Biodiversity and ecology of fungi in Mediterranean ecosystems is poorly …
