“…The increased abundance of EcMF in late summer or autumn also has been reported previously in the boreal forests [89,90]. The species Mortierella alpina and Mucor hiemalis were more abundant mainly in the organic horizon than in the mineral layer [72], as they are common decomposers of litters from broadleaved trees [91,92]. With the increase in soil depth, the abundance of Phlebopus roseus and Sarocladium terricola increased, becoming the dominant fungal species in the mineral layer [72].…”

With the increase in soil depth, the abundance of Phlebopus roseus and Sarocladium terricola increased, becoming the dominant fungal species in the mineral layer [72]. P. roseus and S. terricola can use organic derivatives as sole nutrient sources via excreting extracellular enzymes to directly cleave C-N-P bonds [93,94], which allow them to survive in the deeper mineral soil, a nutrient-poor environment.…”

“…The fungal diversity and richness in the organic layer are higher than that in the mineral layer. Thoroughly, the fungi diversity and richness decreased in the organic soil from the raw litter layer to the humus layer and increased the mineral soil from the surface mineral layer to the mineral subsoil layer [72]. In addition, the forest stand age and moss cover are the most important predictors of fungal richness in temperate forests [73].…”

Forests acting as carbon storage and sequestration play an essential role in the global nutrient cycle, in which fungi are active participants. The forests cover almost all regions from the boreal, temperate to the subtropical and tropical forests. The relative proportion of carbon sequestrated in forest soil varies from approximately 85% of the terrestrial carbon pool in boreal forests to 60% in temperate forests and to 50% in tropical rainforests. Fungi as decomposers of organic matter and root-associated mediators of belowground carbon transport and respiration are the key drivers of the carbon cycle in forests. For example, saprophytic fungi can degrade soil organic matter to release carbon into the soil, whereas symbiotic fungi could form symbiosis with plants, through which plant and fungi can benefit each other with nutrient flow. Given the importance of fungi in the ecological environment, this paper summarizes the importance of soil fungi in terms of fungal diversity and function in forest ecosystems.

Forests provide invaluable economic, ecological, and social services. At the same time, they are exposed to several threats, such as fragmentation, changing climatic conditions, or increasingly destructive pests and pathogens. Trees, the inherent species of forests, cannot be viewed as isolated organisms. Manifold (micro)organisms are associated with trees playing a pivotal role in forest ecosystems. Of these organisms, fungi may have the greatest impact on the life of trees. A multitude of molecular and genetic methods are now available to investigate tree species and their associated organisms. Due to their smaller genome sizes compared to tree species, whole genomes of different fungi are routinely compared. Such studies have only recently started in forest tree species. Here, we summarize the application of molecular and genetic methods in forest conservation genetics, tree breeding, and association genetics as well as for the investigation of fungal communities and their interrelated ecological functions. These techniques provide valuable insights into the molecular basis of adaptive traits, the impacts of forest management, and changing environmental conditions on tree species and fungal communities and can enhance tree-breeding cycles due to reduced time for field testing. It becomes clear that there are multifaceted interactions among microbial species as well as between these organisms and trees. We demonstrate the versatility of the different approaches based on case studies on trees and fungi. Key points • Current knowledge of genetic methods applied to forest trees and associated fungi. • Genomic methods are essential in conservation, breeding, management, and research. • Important role of phytobiomes for trees and their ecosystems.
