#Decomposing #deadwood is a #biodiversityhotspot; many small #organisms are either direct #decomposers or closely ecologically related to these primary decomposers. This #riparianforest in Saarland, #Germany, remains partly uncontrolled and is thus full of deadwood in different stages of decomposition. The authors T. Löfroth et al. (2023) studied #factors such as #globalwarming negatively affecting deadwood #ecosystems.

Understanding the cryptic role #fungi play in ecosystems https://phys.org/news/2022-12-cryptic-role-fungi-play-ecosystems.html
Fungal Dispersal Across Spatial Scales: Bala Chaudhary et al. https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-ecolsys-012622-021604
"We typically think of fungi as #decomposers, but they are cryptic and do many different things. Fungi can also function as nutrient cyclers, #pathogens, and #mutualists that live in a beneficial association with plants and other organisms."
