Short summary
Changes in soil biological activity when microbial taxa interact remain little understood. To address this, we approach network analyses of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities. The study highlights how distinct fungi contribute to explaining community structure, whilst others mainly do for soil enzymatic activity. This differentiation between structural and functional roles of ectomycorrhizal fungi adds new insights to understand soil fungal community complexity and its functionality in soils.
