This study shows that recreational climbing alters cliff soil chemistry and plant-associated fungal communities, with potential impacts on plant function and ecosystem resilience.

The paper tracks changes in macrofungal alpha diversity across Europe from the 1980s to 2010s, finding weak positive trends and identifying environmental factors influencing diversity.

The paper experimentally increases forest structural heterogeneity and finds it boosts soil fungal gamma-diversity mainly through beta-diversity and microclimate effects, with weak phylogenetic diversity gains and contrasting functional responses.
