We developed a bibliographic database of secondary metabolites documented to occur in Arctic lichen species. Using these chemical data, in conjunction with existing field datasets across the Arctic National Parklands, USA, yielded species abundance-weighted mean chemical frequency. Ordination analysis revealed three primary gradients in lichen chemistry. We found that lichen chemistry community patterns were not random. We recommend nine secondary chemicals, which are strongly associated with these environmental gradients as targets for future chemistry-based functional trait research. This novel approach has utility well beyond simply characterizing the community through the lens of lichen chemistry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55136,"journal":{"name":"Fungal Ecology","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 101451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We set up a cross-factorial experiment cultivating <em>Betula pubescens</em> seedlings in alpine and lowland soils, at simulated alpine and lowland temperatures, to test whether the fungal community may limit seedling establishment. We found that alpine soils contained fewer ectomycorrhizal fungi in general and that seedlings cultivated in alpine soil were smaller and recruited fewer ectomycorrhizal fungi compared to seedlings cultivated in lowland soil.

We exposed the peridioles of three distantly related bird's nest fungi species (<em>Cyathus poepigii</em>, <em>Crucibulum parvulum</em>, and <em>Nidularia pulvinata</em>) to extremely high temperatures, extremely low temperatures, and prolonged ultraviolet (UV-C) radiation. The viability of bird's nest fungi peridioles declined after high heat treatments although all three species showed tolerance up to about 40 °C. In contrast, peridioles were unaffected by freezing or direct ultraviolet radiation. Although bird's nest fungi are not typically found under extreme conditions, three distantly related species germinated well following exposure to extreme environments for either 6 or 24 h.
