“…A general trend, observed in animals and plants, is the colonization of young stand, normally newly exposed, by opportunistic species followed by an increase of species richness [76,77]. In the case of fungi, generally mature coniferous forests can support a larger number of fungal species and provide a higher fungal richness [78,79]. Blaalid et al (2012) also observed for root-associated fungi a high fungal richness in the recently exposed area (young stand), followed by a decrease to finish with an increase of richness in more established ecosystems [80].…”

Fungi play important roles in forest ecosystems and understanding fungal diversity is crucial to address essential questions about species conservation and ecosystems management. Changes in fungal diversity can have severe impacts on ecosystem functionality. Unfortunately, little is known about fungal diversity in northern temperate and boreal forests, and we have yet to understand how abiotic variables shape fungal richness and composition. Our objectives were to make an overview of the fungal richness and the community composition in the region and identify their major abiotic drivers. We sampled 262 stands across the northern temperate and boreal Quebec forest located in the region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Mauricie, and Haute-Mauricie. At each site, we characterized fungal composition using Illumina sequencing, as well as several potential abiotic drivers (e.g., humus thickness, soil pH, vegetation cover, etc.). We tested effects of abiotic drivers on species richness using generalized linear models, while difference in fungal composition between stands was analyzed with permutational multivariate analysis of variance and beta-diversity partitioning analyses. Fungi from the order Agaricales, Helotiales, and Russulales were the most frequent and sites from the north of Abitibi-Témiscamingue showed the highest OTUs (Operational Taxonomic Unit) richness. Stand age and moss cover were the best predictors of fungal richness. On the other hand, the strongest drivers of fungal community structure were soil pH, average cumulative precipitation, and stand age, although much of community variance was left unexplained in our models. Overall, our regional metacommunity was characterized by high turnover rate, even when rare OTUs were removed. This may indicate strong environmental filtering by several unmeasured abiotic filters, or stronger than expected dispersal limitations in soil fungal communities. Our results show how difficult it can be to predict fungal community assembly even with high replication and efforts to include several biologically relevant explanatory variables.

“…However, the result indicated that fungal taxa richness is higher in the matured stands. This is in agreement with other studies which demonstrated that matured stands could favor more macrofungal taxa and thus higher richness (Dejene et al, 2017a;Lu et al, 1999). The reason might be related to the suitability of the environments created along the stand development i.e.…”

“…The present study also portrayed distinct fungal communities under the three Eucalyptus stand age classes. This is consistent with our previous study, showing the correlation of stand age with fungal taxa composition in P. patula stands (Dejene et al, 2017a). Based on the aggregation of the fungal taxa, the 37-year-old stand showed a distinctive macrofungal community ( Figure 5), characterized by a relatively high number of taxa (Table 3).…”

“…However a systematic estimation of fungi diversity is not yet available (IBC, 2014) and likely as a result; fungi are not included in the biodiversity database of the country. Furthermore, reports regarding fungal biodiversity rarely exist in the country (Dejene et al, 2017a). These are due to a lack of research infrastructures in mycology and less attention given to the fungal resources.…”

Afromontane forests originally dominated the highland parts of Ethiopia, delivering a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits including key components of biodiversity. However, anthropogenic disturbances are causing a dramatic decline of these forests and gradually changed the scene. Among the factors, forest fires are increasingly contributing to the loss to these forests systems in the country. On the other hand, plantations of exotic trees are also another form of forests in the highland parts of Ethiopia. They are also serving as sources of industrial wood, firewood, farm implements, poles and posts. Owing to their rapid growth, plantations are subjected to traditional management systems mainly of a "plant, clear fell and replant" cycle method or "coppicing". For the last decades, researches have been conducted to assist the development, management and conservation of both forest systems in the country. However, fungal communities associated with these forests have been neglected and their knowledge is limited by lack of studies in Ethiopia. Previous studies indicated that forest fire and plantation forest management affected the macrofungal community in forest systems where the gestation period is long, although such impacts are yet understudied in Ethiopia. Furthermore, the information about ethnomycology and mushroom cultivation practices is scarce and the available works are even fragmented and limited in their scops to represent the country adequately. Thus, we aimed to compile and assess the existing literature on mushrooms in Ethiopia, and also, to conduct field systematic research to know fungal diversity and production according to stand development and fires in plantations and natural forests respectively. Both review of literature and field studies were carried out for the purpose. The review made included all information available in the country while the field study was conducted at Wondo Genet forest area. In the field we established plots taking into consideration the similarity of the areas in terms of ecological conditions such as climate, altitude, and soil. For the purpose, in the Dry Afromontane forests, two burned and one unburned forest areas were selected. A total of nine sample plots, i.e. three in each area, were established. Similarly, a total of 18 plots were also established in Pinus patula (9 plots) and Eucalyptus grandis (9 plots) stands. In all cases the plots covered an area of 100 m 2 , with a rectangular shape (2 m x 50 m). All sporocarps found in the plots were fully harvested weekly during the rainy season in July and August in 2015. Fresh weight measurements were carried out in situ and the data are given in kilograms per hectare per year. Also, abundance, the number of sporocarps per species, data was taken from each plot. Sample fruit bodies from each species were taken to the laboratory and dried. Some samples were preserved as herbaria specimens, and they were used for molecular and microscopic taxa identification. Composite soil samples were also col...
