The study shows that warmer microclimates in forest gaps boost biodiversity in colder regions but not in warmer ones, suggesting climate-specific forest management strategies.

The paper tests how forest management strategies affect deadwood fungal diversity and decomposition by manipulating canopy cover and deadwood enrichment in beech and pine forests.

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.
