Aim Climate change is affecting biodiversity at an accelerating rate. Despite the importance of fungi in ecosystems general, and global carbon nitrogen cycle particular, there little research on response to climate compared with plants animals. Earlier studies show that climatic factors tree species are key determinants macrofungal diversity distribution large spatial scales. However, our knowl...
