Disentangling drivers behind fungal diversity gradients along altitude and latitude

Original language description

Gradients in species diversity across elevations and latitudes have fascinated biologists fordecades. While these gradients have been well documented for macroorganisms, there is lim-ited consensus about their universality, shape and drivers for microorganisms, such as fungi,despite the importance of fungal diversity for ecosystem functions and services. We conducted a comprehensive survey of fungal species richness in forests across 17 eleva-tional transects along a latitudinal gradient covering the continental scale of Europe. Diversity patterns along elevational and latitudinal gradients differed among fungal ecologi-cal guilds. Diversity of saprotrophs declined with elevation while ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fun-gal diversity peaked in mid-elevations. Moreover, the diversity of root endophytic fungiincreased with latitude but did not change with elevation. Bayesian species distribution model-ing suggests that fungal diversity is structured by deterministic rather than stochastic drivers.Importantly, ECM fungal diversity pattern persists even after accounting for the effects ofenvironmental conditions. These results suggest that environmental conditions differentially shape the diversity of fun-gal guilds along elevational and latitudinal gradients, but this goes beyond soil and climaticfactors in the case of ECM fungi. This study paves the way toward a better understanding offungal diversity gradients across elevations and latitudes, with possible implications for macro-ecological theory, conservation and management
