The negative impacts of climate change on native forest ecosystems have created challenging conditions for the sustainability natural regeneration. These challenges arise primarily from abiotic stresses that affect early stages tree development. While there is extensive evidence diversity juvenile microbial symbioses in agricultural and fruit crops, a notable lack reports plants. This review aims to summarize critical studies conducted plant-microbe interactions plants highlight main benefits beneficial microorganisms overcoming environmental such as drought, high low temperatures, metal(loid) toxicity, nutrient deficiency, salinity. reviewed consistently demonstrated positive effects plant-microbiota highlighted potential attributes improve plantlet In addition, this discusses managing symbiosis context restoration, including its impact plant responses phytopathogens, promotion uptake, facilitation seedling adaptation, resource exchange through shared hyphal networks, stimulation soil communities, modulation gene protein expression enhance adaptation adverse conditions.

Spatiotemporal dynamics reveal high turnover and contrasting assembly processes in fungal communities across contiguous habitats of tropical forests

Environmental Microbiome, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(1)

Published: Feb. 15, 2025

Abstract Background The variation in fungal community composition within a single habitat space has been extensively studied forest ecosystems. However, the spatial and temporal distribution of fungi across contiguous habitats, particularly at local scale tropical regions, remains underexplored. In this study, we examined multiple habitats proximal to each other over two seasons seven Fagaceae species Taiwanese broadleaf forests. We tested how influence assembly. Results Using metabarcoding approach, sequenced ITS2 regions from 864 samples collected four distinct habitats—leaves, twigs, litter, soil. identified 11,600 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), with differing significantly between other. Generalized dissimilarity modeling (GDM) revealed that distance, interacting precipitation, was strongest predictor turnover, phyllosphere. Normalized Stochasticity Ratio (NST) analyses further highlighted contrasting assembly processes, deterministic influences dominating phyllosphere habitat, while stochasticity prevailed soil litter. Random analysis accurately classified based on ASVs’ relative abundances, strong predictors were mostly habitat-specific ASVs prevalent Misclassified due secondary contact adjacent habitats. Co-occurrence network more complex networks leaf twig driven by stochastic processes contained most ASVs. A Cladosporium sp. emerged as keystone species, maintaining stability Conclusion This study reveals shape communities forests, some playing key role others. show extremely high turnover are present very short distances taxa predictors. These findings highlight importance studying coexisting gain deeper understanding biogeography ecosystem function.

Distribution patterns of fungal community diversity in the dominant tree species Dacrydium pectinatum and Vatica mangachapoi in tropical rainforests

Microbiology Spectrum, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 17, 2025

ABSTRACT Plant microbial communities are shaped by plant compartments, but the patterns of fungal in aboveground and belowground which environmental factors can affect them, remain unknown. Here, to address this research gap, high-throughput sequencing technology was performed investigate diversity leaves’ roots’ compartments Dacrydium pectinatum Vatica mangachapoi from Hainan Island China. Fungal leaves roots exhibited significant differences. Eurotiomycetes (16.57%) Dothideomycetes (45.57%) were predominantly found leaves, while Agaricomycetes (36.53%) dominated roots. Compared roots, leaf had higher α-diversity. According Mantel test, soil pH mainly influenced main driving for rainfall temperature. The proportion dispersal-limited processes rhizoplane (76.67%) root endosphere (73.81%) greater than that epiphytic (62.38%) endophytic (68.1%), driven ectomycorrhizal fungi with known dispersal limitations. In summary, compositions both endangered tree species differed, partly unique each compartment. Our results provide valuable theoretical practical insights preserving tropical species. IMPORTANCE Understanding assembly across different is a prerequisite harnessing them enhance growth. findings reveal differences community structures between compartments. While primary drivers those primarily mycorrhizal fungi. These demonstrate compartment-specific plant-microbe interactions responses, offering actionable conserving through habitat optimization (e.g., management) corridor preservation. This compartment-aware perspective enhances our ability leverage functions improve resilience trees face climate change.

Habitat and tree species identity shape aboveground and belowground fungal communities in central European forests

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: March 6, 2023

Trees interact with fungi in mutualistic, saprotrophic, and pathogenic relationships. With their extensive aboveground belowground structures, trees provide diverse habitats for fungi. Thus, tree species identity is an important driver of fungal community composition forests.Here we investigate how forest habitat (bark surface vs. soil) (deciduous coniferous) affect communities two Central European forests. We assess differences interactions between associated bark surfaces soil, plots dominated either by Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, or Pinus sylvestris study regions southwestern northeastern Germany.ITS metabarcoding yielded 3,357 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) the northern 6,088 southern region. Overall, soil were 4.7 times more than communities. Habitat type explained 48-69% variation alpha diversity, while >1-3%. NMDS ordinations showed that host structured few taxa shared habitats, species, but highly abundant.

Abstract Deciphering the local diversity and community composition of plant-associated microorganisms is crucial to predict their ecological functions in forest ecosystems. The differences microbial between aboveground belowground tree compartments remain largely unknown. Here, we examined bacterial communities leaf surface (phyllosphere) root-associated (root rhizospheric soil) habitats 13 species. Bacterial richness substantially differed across three compartments, with highest value observed soil. Tree species exerted a significant effect on α-diversity leaf- soil- but not root-inhabiting bacteria. were distinct significantly more divergent than habitats. Leaf nutrients soil pH NH4+-N main factors regulating root-related composition, respectively. This study highlights that host selection effects structure prominent Our findings contribute better understanding subtropical diversity, implications for sustainable plantation management.
