“…In general, RAF diversity is affected by climatic and/or edaphic factors, especially soil pH, moisture, and SOC (Barnes, Gast, et al, ; Tedersoo et al, ; Toljander, Eberhardt, Toljander, Paul, & Taylor, ). However, the correlation between the RAF diversity of P. sylvestris and environmental disturbance factors was poor, which has also been shown in previous studies (Entwistle, Zak, & Edwards, ; Jumpponen & Jones, ). We speculate that the shaping of fungal diversity by environmental factors depends on the scales and categories of the ecosystem, and fungi are tolerant and resilient to climate change in some ecosystems (Zheng, Hu, Guo, Anderson, & Powell, ).…”

Root‐associated fungi (RAF) are an important factor affecting the host's growth, and their contribution to Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation decline is substantial. Therefore, we selected three age groups of P. sylvestris plantations (26, 33, and 43 years), in the Mu Us Desert, to characterize the community structure and functional groups of RAF, identified by Illumina high‐throughput sequencing and FUNGuild platform, respectively. The effects of soil properties and enzyme activities on fungal diversity and functional groups were also examined. The results indicated that (a) 805 operational taxonomic units of RAF associated with P. sylvestris belonged to six phyla and 163 genera. Diversity and richness were not significantly different in the three age groups, but community composition showed significant differences. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota dominated the fungal community, while Rhizopogon dominated in each plot. (b) The proportion of pathotrophs decreased with increasing age, while that of symbiotrophs increased sharply, which were mainly represented by ectomycorrhizal fungi. (c) Stand age and soil enzyme activity had a greater influence on fungal community composition than did soil properties, whereas environmental variables were not significantly correlated with fungal diversity and richness. Dynamics of fungal community composition and functional groups with the aging plantations reflected the growth state of P. sylvestris and were related to plantation degradation.

“…With respect to the observed richness of different taxonomic groups, Jumpponen & Jones () found that warming did not affect the richness in most ascomycete classes, except for the Lecanoromycetes that declined with warming. In our study, the order Lecanorales (involving lichenized ascomycetes) was one of the two orders that showed significant decrease in OTU richness in the warmed plots of both tundra types.…”

Long‐term experimental warming alters community composition of ascomycetes in Alaskan moist and dry arctic tundra

et al. 2015

Arctic tundra regions have been responding to global warming with visible changes in plant community composition, including expansion of shrubs and declines in lichens and bryophytes. Even though it is well known that the majority of arctic plants are associated with their symbiotic fungi, how fungal community composition will be different with climate warming remains largely unknown. In this study, we addressed the effects of long-term (18 years) experimental warming on the community composition and taxonomic richness of soil ascomycetes in dry and moist tundra types. Using deep Ion Torrent sequencing, we quantified how OTU assemblage and richness of different orders of Ascomycota changed in response to summer warming. Experimental warming significantly altered ascomycete communities with stronger responses observed in the moist tundra compared with dry tundra. The proportion of several lichenized and mossassociated fungi decreased with warming, while the proportion of several plant and insect pathogens and saprotrophic species was higher in the warming treatment. The observed alterations in both taxonomic and ecological groups of ascomycetes are discussed in relation to previously reported warming-induced shifts in arctic plant communities, including decline in lichens and bryophytes and increase in coverage and biomass of shrubs.

“…Individual BLAST searches of these unidentified sequences showed only around 80e95% similarity to known fungi, and these sequences were subsequently removed from the analysis. This is a common occurrence in studies using high-throughput sequencing technologies to explore fungal communities in environmental samples Kõljalg et al, 2013;Jumpponen and Jones, 2014), and a large fraction of those sequences likely belong to fungal species that do not yet have a reference barcode. The increasing detection of unidentified, unculturable fungi reflects a growing demand for reliable reference barcodes with up-to-date annotations within available fungal ITS databases.…”
