Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Foliar fungi displayed consistent latitudinal diversity gradients in richness.
- Association Energy was a strong driver of foliar fungal richness at inter-continental and continental scales.
- Association Other factors had inconsistent impacts on foliar fungal richness among scales, hosts and guilds.
- Association Globally, foliar fungal richness was higher where hosts were present for longer periods.
- Association Composition was primarily structured by geographic region at the global scale.
- Association Distance was a dominant driver of foliar fungal community composition.
- Association Within Australia, temperature and rainfall seasonality and growing season rainfall were the dominant drivers of foliar fungal richness and composition.
- Association Australian foliar fungal diversity and composition were driven by climate seasonality and fire.
