This study investigates the hypothesis that macro-climate is one of the primary drivers of endophytic fungal diversity and composition in\n                    <jats:italic>Eucalyptus camaldulensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    across different regions in Iran. A total of 712 fungal isolates were isolated from leaves, branches, and fruits across five provinces (Alborz, Isfahan, Mazandaran, Qom, and Tehran) spanning arid to humid climates. Cultivation and morphological\/molecular identification revealed a clear diversity gradient, with the highest species richness, Shannon diversity, and colonization frequency in the humid province of Mazandaran, and the lowest in the semi-arid and arid provinces of Alborz and Qom, respectively. Community composition shifted significantly along this climatic gradient: arid sites were dominated by stress-tolerant generalists (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>Alternaria<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), while the humid site supported a balanced community of specialists (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>Neofusicoccum<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). Across all climates, tissue type was a consistent secondary filter, with leaves harboring the most diverse communities, followed by branches and fruits. These results demonstrate a hierarchical assembly where climate filters the regional species pool, and host tissue type then fine-tunes the local community. This study provides the first comprehensive baseline of\n                    <jats:italic>E. camaldulensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    endophytes in Iran and highlights the vulnerability of these symbiotic systems to climate change, while also identifying them as a valuable resource for biotechnology.\n
