| Popis: | Fungal communities are especially relevant in Mediterranean regions, a ‘hotspot’ of fungal diversity, and where the value of edible commercial sporocarps may be much higher than the income from timber products. Assessing the effects of forest management practices together with the modulating role of climate on sporocarp community composition and diversity is crucial for understanding their impacts on fungal-related ecosystem services. Yet, previous research on forest management impacts on aboveground fungal diversity and community composition is scant, sometimes contradictory and mainly focused on rather short-term impacts. We quantified the long-term response of the sporocarp community composition and diversity to different forest thinning intensities in Mediterranean Pinus pinaster forest stands, and the interactions with weather conditions in modulating the fungal response. We relied on 28 permanent plots representing a thinning intensity gradient, monitored for sporocarp diversity on a weekly basis during eleven consecutive years. Weather conditions of each plot were obtained through interpolation from different meteorological stations. Overall, the fungal sporocarp community composition showed short-term ( |
