“…Several meteorological variables were indeed significantly reflected in the EM fungal structure, indicating that Mongolian pine-associated EM fungal communities are susceptible to climate. This finding is not new, as many reports describe the effect of several meteorological drivers on EM fungal communities ( 6 , 57 ). Moreover, previous studies have shown that precipitation is the main driving factor behind EM fungal community assembly in desert regions ( 34 , 58 ).…”

To date, the ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi community has been widely investigated with aging plantations affected by the pedologic factors. However, knowledge on the effects of phenology induced by climatic factors across the age range remains poorly understood on an intra-annual scale. Here, we sampled the fine roots of Mongolian pine ( Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica ) plantations at different stages of the growing season (from April to September) across three stand ages (27, 34, and 44 yr) in the Mu Us Desert, Northwest China. We aim to disentangle the community composition and structure of EM fungi, as well as the impact of climate on EM fungi. We observed that the 173 distinct EM fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified. Geopora , Inocybe , Tomentella, and Tuber were the most frequent, and their dominance was maintained as stand aging. The richness and community composition were not significantly different with stand aging ( P > 0.05). Host phenology and stand age are two important factors that have shaped the EM fungal community. The growing stage affected the beta diversity of the EM fungal community more than stand age, and this variation of the EM fungal community was closely related to seasonal climate, particularly precipitation. This improved information will provide a theoretical basis for the reforestation and rehabilitation of the Mongolian pine plantations using mycorrhizal techniques. IMPORTANCE Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi are particularly important for host plants in a desert ecosystem. With a high degree of plasticity, EM fungi are largely influenced by host plant and environmental variables and fundamentally contribute to the ability of individuals to adapt to environmental changes. Therefore, the EM fungi are important for Mongolian pine ( Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica ) plantation in a desert ecosystem. Although previous studies have concluded that multiple endogenous and exogenous processes ultimately lead to species-specific temporal patterns in EM fungal populations. We still neglect the effect of host phenology on EM fungal activity. The significance of our study is the interplay between climate-driven EM fungi and plant phenology.

“…The EMF assemblages in our study showed the typical patterns known for temperate beech forests, with high diversity ( 21 , 23 , 24 ), a dominance of certain species ( 73 , 74 ) (e.g., the genera Amanita , Xerocomus , and Scleroderma in this study), and nonuniform occurrence in the tree roots. However, the 2-day N treatments were not expected to affect the fungal community structure because the colonization and establishment of new ectomycorrhizas take weeks or months rather than days ( 75 , 76 ), and shifts in fungal communities toward more nitrophilic fungi occur as a consequence of long-term exposure to high N loads ( 77 – 81 ).…”

Transcriptional Landscape of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi and Their Host Provides Insight into N Uptake from Forest Soil

Although EMF are well known for their role in supporting tree N nutrition, the molecular mechanisms underlying N flux from the soil solution into the host through the ectomycorrhizal pathway remain widely unknown. Furthermore, ammonium and nitrate availability in the soil solution is subject to frequent oscillations that create a dynamic environment for the tree roots and associated microbes during N acquisition.

“…Despite the key importance of these ECM fungi, they occupied only 0.5% of the total diversity in the soil and 0.1% in the roots of investigated samples. Suilloid fungi represent species of early succession and, with the age of the stand, are often replaced by other ECM fungi, which leads to the fact that they become less common [ 110 , 111 ]. Besides, a higher proportion of this group of fungi is usually found after forest disturbance [ 109 ].…”

The plant- and soil-associated microbial communities are critical to plant health and their resilience to stressors, such as drought, pathogens, and pest outbreaks. A better understanding of the structure of microbial communities and how they are affected by different environmental factors is needed to predict and manage ecosystem responses to climate change. In this study, we carried out a country-wide analysis of fungal communities associated with Pinus sylvestris growing under different environmental conditions. Needle, shoot, root, mineral, and organic soil samples were collected at 30 sites. By interconnecting the high-throughput sequencing data, environmental variables, and soil chemical properties, we were able to identify key factors that drive the diversity and composition of fungal communities associated with P. sylvestris. The fungal species richness and community composition were also found to be highly dependent on the site and the substrate they colonize. The results demonstrated that different functional tissues and the rhizosphere soil of P. sylvestris are associated with diverse fungal communities, which are driven by a combination of climatic (temperature and precipitation) and edaphic factors (soil pH), and stand characteristics.
