Macrofungi are essential in forest ecological functioning. Their distribution and diversity are
primarily impacted by vegetation, topography, and environmental factors, such as …

Diversity of forest macrofungal communities is strongly influenced by various management
approaches. These effects have so far only been studied in certain types of forest stands and …

As modern silviculture in natural forests is based on natural regeneration, finding the most
important drivers of regeneration is crucial for forestry as well as conservation. We explored …

Understanding the assembly of biological communities in space and time is a major goal in
community ecology. While most studies have focused on community assembly patterns in …

Commercial forestry increasingly aims at both optimizing timber production and maintaining
