Short summary
Black truffle's impact on soil fungi was studied in plantations and forests across seasons via network analysis. Plantations showed more homogeneous and connected fungal network than forests, suggesting greater stability. Black truffle lacked a central role in either system's fungal network. Saprotrophic fungi mainly drove carbon and nutrient cycling. This work improves the understanding of fungal dynamics in black truffle soils and offers insights for better black truffle cultivation.
