Differential responses of fungal guilds to climatic effects mediated by changes in dominant vegetation.
Article in The New phytologist, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Climate is a major driver of fungal species distributions and community composition, yet disentangling the effects of climate-mediated changes in dominant vegetation from other climatic effects remains a key challenge. To separate climatic effects mediated by dominant vegetation from other climatic effects on soil fungal communities, we analyzed soil fungal communities from eight European altitudinal gradients including sites with homogeneous and heterogeneous dominant vegetation. We combined community-level analyses with species-level hierarchical modeling to assess how different fungal ecological guilds respond to climate. Our results reveal clear contrasts among fungal ecological guilds. Ectomycorrhizal fungi showed significantly higher community turnover along the climatic gradient than any other group and responded only weakly to changes in dominant vegetation, whereas plant pathogens, root endophytes, and saprotrophic fungi showed consistently stronger responses under heterogeneous vegetation. The realized climatic niche of ectomycorrhizal fungi therefore appears only weakly constrained by dominant vegetation, whereas the distributions of plant pathogens, root endophytes, and saprotrophic fungi are more strongly associated with climate-mediated vegetation change. Together, our findings demonstrate that fungal guilds differ markedly in the pathways through which climate shapes their distributions.
