We invite you to listen to Prof. Marcin Pietras’s lecture entitled “Climate and the diversity and distribution of fungi.”
Climate is one of the most important factors determining the distribution of organisms. Climate changes can affect the abundance and geographic range of species. On the other hand, they can also accelerate the spread of certain organisms, including invasive species. The changes caused by climate change observed in both species richness and distribution particularly affect fungi - the most diverse group of organisms.
