Fungi are key organisms in terrestrial ecosystems, functioning as decomposers, pathogens, and symbionts. Identifying the mechanisms that shape metacommunity patterns is likely to be critical for predicting how ecosystems will respond to global environmental change. Using fungal occurrence data and a hierarchical approach that combines three elements of metacommunity structure—coherence, turnover and boundary clumping—we identified the structures that best describe metacommunity patterns. We related these patterns to underlying environmental and spatial variables known to influence fungal distribution, and determined the relative importance of the environment and geographic distance in structuring fungal metacommunities. Fungal metacommunities had Clementsian and quasi-Clementsian structures, indicating that species distributions were compartmentalized along a dominant environmental gradient. This gradient was strongly associated with annual precipitation, precipitation seasonality and pH for the entire metacommunity. Variance partitioning revealed that the environment was relatively more important than geographic distance in explaining metacommunity patterns, indicating that niche-based processes are crucial in shaping species distributions among sites. However, the strength of the relationship between the latent gradient and environmental factors and the relative contributions of the environment and geographic distance to metacommunity structure varied across groups, suggesting that interactions among habitat, dispersal and life-history might be driving these differences.

确定影响云南真菌群落和元社区格局的机制

真菌是陆地生态系统中的关键生物,具有分解剂,病原体和共生体的功能。确定塑造元社区格局的机制可能对于预测生态系统如何应对全球环境变化至关重要。使用真菌发生数据和结合元社区结构的三个要素(相干性,周转率和边界聚集)的分层方法,我们确定了最能描述元社区模式的结构。我们将这些模式与已知会影响真菌分布的潜在环境和空间变量相关联,并确定了环境和地理距离在构建真菌超共性方面的相对重要性。真菌元社区具有Clementsian和准Clementsian结构,表明物种分布沿主要环境梯度被划分。这个梯度与整个元社区的年降水量,降水季节和pH值密切相关。方差划分表明,在解释元社区模式时,环境比地理距离相对重要,这表明基于生态位的过程对于塑造站点之间的物种分布至关重要。但是,潜在梯度与环境因素之间的关系强度以及环境和地理距离对元社区结构的相对贡献在各个群体之间各不相同,这表明栖息地,扩散和生活史之间的相互作用可能是造成这些差异的原因。这个梯度与整个元社区的年降水量,降水季节和pH值密切相关。方差划分显示,在解释元社区模式时,环境比地理距离重要得多,这表明基于生态位的过程对于塑造站点之间的物种分布至关重要。但是,潜在梯度与环境因素之间的关系强度以及环境和地理距离对元社区结构的相对贡献在各个群体之间各不相同,这表明栖息地,扩散和生活史之间的相互作用可能是造成这些差异的原因。这个梯度与整个元社区的年降水量,降水季节和pH值密切相关。方差划分表明,在解释元社区模式时,环境比地理距离相对重要,这表明基于生态位的过程对于塑造站点之间的物种分布至关重要。但是,潜伏梯度与环境因素之间的关系强度以及环境和地理距离对元社区结构的相对贡献在各组之间各不相同,这表明栖息地,散布和生活史之间的相互作用可能是造成这些差异的原因。方差划分表明,在解释元社区模式时,环境比地理距离相对重要,这表明基于生态位的过程对于塑造站点之间的物种分布至关重要。但是,潜伏梯度与环境因素之间的关系强度以及环境和地理距离对元社区结构的相对贡献在各组之间各不相同,这表明栖息地,散布和生活史之间的相互作用可能是造成这些差异的原因。方差划分表明,在解释元社区模式时,环境比地理距离相对重要,这表明基于生态位的过程对于塑造站点之间的物种分布至关重要。但是,潜伏梯度与环境因素之间的关系强度以及环境和地理距离对元社区结构的相对贡献在各组之间各不相同,这表明栖息地,散布和生活史之间的相互作用可能是造成这些差异的原因。
