e0“Co-occurrence networks were inferred from ECM root tips of Cistus albidus, Quercus faginea and Q. ilex on a regional scale, in Mediterranean mixed forests”
e4“As increased network complexity was not related to greater soil functionality, functional redundancy might be operating in Mediterranean forest soils”

- Association Ectomycorrhizal network complexity in Cistus albidus, Quercus faginea and Q. ilex relied on habitat characteristics and seasonality.
- Association Ectomycorrhizal network complexity was linked to dominant ECM fungal lineages across habitats.
- Association Soil enzymatic activities were habitat-dependent in the ECM host forests.
- Association Soil enzymatic activities were driven by host plant identity.
- Association Soil enzymatic activities were driven by ECM fungi with reduced structuring roles in the co-occurrence network.
- Observation ECM fungal co-occurrence network structure and functioning were highly context-dependent.
- Association Increased network complexity was not related to greater soil functionality.
- Observation Structural and functional roles of ECM fungi are differentiated.
