Cistus ladanifer-dominated ecosystems are widely distributed in the Western Mediterranean
basin and are affected by recurrent fires. Although these scrublands were traditionally …

Many factors associated with forests are collectively responsible for controlling
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community structure, including plant species composition …

Wildfires are the major disturbance in Mediterranean ecosystems affecting both vegetation
and fungal communities. After fire, fungal communities follow succession patterns mainly …

Landscapes of oak (Quercus) forests alternated with extensive fields dominated by
rockroses (Cistus) are widespread throughout the Mediterranean Basin. Due to the …

This study examined the short-term effects of wildfire on fungal communities in two
Mediterranean ecosystems in northwestern Spain, dominated by Pinus pinaster Ait. and …

Despite the immense amount of diversity present in the soil biota, the ecological and
evolutionary processes that regulate species diversity and abundance of ectomycorrhizal …

Mediterranean Cistus ladanifer scrublands can provide an important fungal production, often
in high demand. However, due to the pyrophytic characteristics of this species, forest fires …

We sought to characterize how abiotic and biotic factors, including identities of tree hosts,
influence ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal composition on tree roots in mixed upland forests of …

Fungal dynamics are a key component of forest ecosystem functioning. Understanding the
links between stand dynamics and mushroom productivity together with the impact of …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, in particular their spores and other resistant propagules, play
an important role in secondary succession processes that facilitate regeneration after …
