Predicted Effects of Climate Change on Future Distributions of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi.

ABSTRACT: To model the distribution of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi to (i) analyse climate change impacts on their future distribution areas and centroids and (ii) analyse their distribution changes by ECM fungal host specificity. Location: Europe. Time period: 2041-2100. Major taxa studied: Ectomycorrhizal fungi. We modelled the distributions of 60 common ECM fungal species in European forests and projected their future distributions under three different shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP126, SSP370 and SSP585) for 2041-2070 and 2071-2100. Both abiotic and biotic (host tree distribution) variables were included in the modelling, with ECM fungal species classified into broadleaf specialists (19), conifer specialists (22) and generalists (19). We estimated changes in both the areas and geographic cen
