Figure 2

Specific and shared fungal OTUs detected in 11 tree species (a), 7 broadleaf tree species (b) and 4 coniferous tree species (c). The number next to each bar indicates the number of all detected fungal OTUs (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Zygomycota, Chytridiomycota and unidentified fungi). The overall architecture of tree species–fungal associations (d) illustrates how fungal OTUs that show preferences for particular tree species (detected in no more than two tree species) were distributed within a web of wood-inhabiting fungi. Different node sizes and colors represent different organismic and taxonomic groups: large nodes=plants (green=broadleaf tree and orange=conifer tree) and small nodes=fungi (red=Basidiomycota, navy blue=Ascomycota, sky blue=Zygomycota, purple=unidentified fungi).
