Traits are inherent properties of organisms, but how are they defined for organismal
networks such as mycorrhizal symbioses? Mycorrhizal symbioses are complex and diverse …

Lichens are one of the most iconic and ubiquitous symbioses known, widely valued as
indicators of environmental quality and, more recently, climate change. Our understanding of …

Nonvascular photoautotrophs (NVP), including bryophytes, lichens, terrestrial algae, and
cyanobacteria, are increasingly recognized as being essential to ecosystem functioning in …

Currently, forest ecosystems are often located in remote areas, far from direct sources of air
pollution. Nonetheless, they may be affected by different types of atmospheric deposition …

Thin, hair‐like lichens (Alectoria, Bryoria, Usnea) form conspicuous epiphyte communities
across the boreal biome. These poikilohydric organisms provide important ecosystem …

The complex web of interactions between ecological communities and the physical
landscape (biogeomorphology) is being affected by the global scale environmental changes …

Over the last decade, fungal conservation has become an increasingly important topic,
especially for species tied to forest ecosystems. Among these, wood decay fungi are a group …

Climate change is already causing considerable reductions in biodiversity in all terrestrial
ecosystems. These consequences are expected to be exacerbated in biomes that are …

Interactions between organisms are determined by life‐history traits. Ecological strategies
regarding species specialisation range from generalist to highly specialised relationships …

Long-term data on spatial dynamics of epiphytic lichens associated with old-growth forests
are fundamental for understanding how environmental factors drive their extinction and …
