In the current context in which mycological resources have acquired a strong socio-
economic interest, forest mycological management is necessary, with objectives of …

Mediterranean forest dynamics are tightly linked to belowground fungal communities since
fungi are involved in key ecosystem processes such as organic matter and nutrient cycling …

Mediterranean ecosystems are usually subjected to a long dry and hot summer and a winter-
wet season and to overexploitation (deforestation, overgrazing, etc). These environmental …

Forest restoration has become one of the most important challenges for restoration ecology
in the recent years. In this regard, soil fungi are fundamental drivers of forest ecosystem …

The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit
forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi form association with relatively small number of plants that
dominate boreal, temperate, Mediterranean, and some subtropical forest ecosystems. These …

Fungi are important components of forest ecosystems. As saprotrophic degraders, they are
essential players in the nutrient turnover of litter and wood, and as parasites, they enhance …

In forest ecosystems, habitat fragmentation negatively impacts stand structure and
biodiversity; the resulting fragmented patches of forest have distinct, disturbed edge habitats …

The association between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and trees is at the heart of forest
ecosystems. Nowadays, this association is increasingly facing pressures resulting from …

The microbiota of most forest soils is dominated by ecto-mycorrhizal and saprotrophic
decomposer fungi which are the main organisms involved respectively in the supply of …
