Title
Grass species identity shapes communities of root and leaf fungi more than elevation

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Diversity and composition of leaf endophytic, root endophytic and AM fungal guilds tracked grass host identity more closely than elevation.
- Association Overall abundance of fungal functional groups tracked grass host identity more closely than elevation.
- Association Network structures of root endophytes became more nested at higher elevations.
- Association Network structures of root endophytes became less specialized at higher elevations.
- Association Network structures of other fungal guilds did not vary with elevation.
- Association Grass species identity had overriding influence on the diversity and composition of above- and belowground fungal endophytes and AM fungi despite large environmental variation.
- Mechanism Fungal symbiont distributions are expected to track the range dynamics of host grasses.
