Distinct diversity trajectories of boreal wood‐inhabiting fungi following fire versus clear‐cutting

Abstract Two contrasting disturbance regimes—wildfire and clear‐cutting—are common in boreal forests and create fundamentally different conditions for succession of wood‐inhabiting fungi. We investigated (i) how species richness and community composition change after these two disturbances and (ii) which stand‐level characteristics drive diversity trajectories. In two chronosequences—managed clear‐cut (1–109 years since clear‐cut; n = 18) and unmanaged fire (4–375 years since fire; n = 18)—we co
