Environmental drivers shaping the macrofungal sporocarp community in Mediterranean Quercus ilex stands
Abstract
We analysed an unprecedented 13-year database of fungal yields in holm oak stands. Annual fungal productivity and diversity correlated with weather-related drivers. Ectomycorrhizal productivity and richness were affected by early-autumn weather. Late-autumn meteorological conditions influenced saprotroph productivity and richness. Changes in community composition were linked to soil physicochemical properties.
