Resumen:
Fungi are organisms with important roles in ecosystemfunctioning and services, but knowledge about how habitatfragmentation affect fungal diversity is biased by experimentalapproaches and it is spread in different trophic groups. Weanalyzed the empirical evidences of fungal diversity infragmented landscapes, and proposed future perspectives forthe study of these organisms under land use changes. Fungaldiversity might be negatively affected by habitat fragmentation;however, this trend may differ in magnitude depending onfungal groups and their nutritional habits. In addition, due to thefact that fungal diversity at fragmented landscapes has beenstudied mainly through few indicators (e.g. isolation, area andedge effect); we propose incorporating the landscape structureand accurate spatio-temporal scales to the study of fungaldiversity responses to fragmented landscapes. Together, thismethodological refinement may allow improving knowledge onfungi when designing proper strategies for landscapemanagement.
