From: Fire Reduces Fungal Species Richness and In Situ Mycorrhizal Colonization: A Meta-Analysis
Mean response of fungal species richness to fire overall (groups combined) and (A) among functional guilds, (B) among methods of measurement, C) among fire types and frequencies (not mutually exclusive, and (D) among biomes. Error bars show 95 % bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals. Values show data records and number of studies, respectively. Eight studies were not included in the guild categorical model because they studied the richness of all fungal species. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was excluded in the measurement categorical model because only one study (Goberna et al. 2012) used this method. Tropical forest was excluded in the biome categorical model because only one study (Mardji 2014) occurred in this biome. WIF = Wood-inhabiting fungi; ECM = ectomycorrhizal fungi; AM = arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; microfiingi = culturable fraction of soil funigi; NGS = next-generation sequencing; ID = identification
