Progress in the Study of the Effect of Temperature Increase on Ectomycorrhizal Fungi
Global warming is profoundly affecting terrestrial ecosystems.Ectomycorrhizal(EM)fungi can be in reciprocal symbiosis with 2%of vascular plants,assisting them in nutrient uptake,improving plant stress resistance,and influencing soil carbon cycling processes.Most studies have found that war-ming can directly or indirectly affect the distribution,infestation rate,exploration type,and community composition of EM fungi,while changes in EM fungi may generate feedback to host plants and soil car-bon pools.Due to the complexity of ecosystems,studies on the effects of warming on EM fungi showed inconsistent conclusions depending on the region,tree species,duration,and mode of warming.There-fore,interaction experiments between warming and other global change-related factors should be strengthened in the future research,as well as EM fungi and intra-and inter-species relationships of EM fungi at low latitudes should be emphasized.
