Unaltered fungal community after fire prevention treatments over widespread Mediterranean rockroses (Halimium lasianthum)

Scientific Reports, 2023
Mediterranean ecosystems are frequently invaded by pyrophytic scrubs such as Halimium lasianthum that colonize areas traditionally used by livestock. A diverse fungal community is associated with this kind of vegetation, playing an important ecological ...

Into the void: ECM fungal communities involved in the succession from rockroses to oak stands

Scientific Reports, 2023
Oak forests accompanied by Cistus species are a common landscape in the Mediterranean basin. It is argued that Cistus dominated fields serve as recruitment areas for Quercus seedlings, as they help in the transmission of the fungal community through ...

Metabarcoding analysis of the soil fungal community to aid the conservation of underexplored church forests in Ethiopia

Scientific Reports, 2022
Most of the Dry Afromontane forests in the northern part of Ethiopia are located around church territories and, hence, are called church forests. These forests are biodiversity islands and provide key ecosystem services to local communities.
