• 50 Years of Cumulative Open-Source Data Confirm Stable and Robust Biodiversity Distribution Patterns for Macrofungi 

      Yu, Haili; Wang, Tiejun; Skidmore, Andrew; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Bässler, Claus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Fungi are a hyper-diverse kingdom that contributes significantly to the regulation of the global carbon and nutrient cycle. However, our understanding of the distribution of fungal diversity is often hindered by a lack of ...
    • Effects of heterogeneity on the ecological diversity and redundancy of forest fauna 

      Heidrich, Lea; Brandl, Roland; Ammer, Christian; Bae, Soyeon; Bässler, Claus; Doerfler, Inken; Fischer, Markus; Gossner, Martin M.; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Heibl, Christoph; Jung, Kirsten; Krzystek, Peter; Levick, Shaun; Magdon, Paul; Schall, Peter; Schulze, Ernst-Detlef; Seibold, Sebastian; Simons, Nadja K.; Thorn, Simon; Weisser, Wolfgang W.; Wöllauer, Stephan; Müller, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Heterogeneity in forests might promote biodiversity not only through an increase in niche volume but also through other processes, such as an increase in resources and their spatial distribution. However, negative relationships ...
    • Factors influencing carrion communities are only partially consistent with those of deadwood necromass 

      von Hoermann, Christian; Benbow, M. Eric; Rottler-Hoermann, Ann-Marie; Lackner, Tomáš; Sommer, David; Receveur, Joseph P.; Bässler, Claus; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Müller, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Research on decomposer communities has traditionally focused on plant litter or deadwood. Even though carrion forms highly nutrient-rich necromass that enhance ecosystem heterogeneity, the factors infuencing saprophytic ...
    • How future climate and tree distribution changes shape the biodiversity of macrofungi across Europe 

      Yu, Haili; Wang, Tiejun; Skidmore, Andrew; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Bässler, Claus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aim: Climate change is affecting biodiversity at an accelerating rate. Despite the im-portance of fungi in ecosystems in general, and in the global carbon and nitrogen cycle in particular, there is little research on the ...
