In an eﬀort to identify the climate warming eﬀects on ecosystem processes carried out by fungi, such as the Laetiporus sulphureus (chicken of the woods or sulphur shelf), Pec et al. assessed fungal diversity, community composition, soil C concentrations, and chemistry in two soil warming experiments performed at the Harvard Forest, Petersham, Massachusetts, USA. The authors found that changes in the relative abundance of fungal functional groups and dominant taxa due to soil warming are associated with losses in total soil carbon. Their findings are published in the May issue of Ecosphere.
