The paper maps the distribution of mycorrhizal fungal taxa and forecasts future range shifts, finding that ectomycorrhizal fungi have smaller niches and will experience greater range loss under climate change.

The paper introduces the ecological multiverse framework to model fungal ecological roles as a network, revealing plant pathogenicity as a central hub connecting diverse functions.

The paper examines how functional traits of ectomycorrhizal tree genera influence soil organic matter properties, finding consistent differences among Quercus, Carya, and Tilia.

This study shows warming disrupts plant-fungal endophyte symbiosis more in leaves than roots, reducing colonization and diversity, and altering community composition.
