Here, we conducted a 6-month reciprocal litterbag experiment by incubating litter from two contrasting pine species\u2014the fire-tolerant\n                    <jats:italic>Pinus taiwanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and the fire-avoiding\n                    <jats:italic>P. morrisonicola<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2014in both their own native habitat and that of the other species, coupled with genome-resolved metagenomics to track fungal succession and lignocellulolytic functional profiles. We found that the fire-avoiding\n                    <jats:italic>P. morrisonicola<\/jats:italic>\n                    exhibited significantly accelerated decomposition, driven by inherently lower initial C:N ratio and less recalcitrant litter, whereas the fire-tolerant\n                    <jats:italic>P. taiwanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    exhibited slower decomposition rates. Metagenomic profiling revealed a distinct functional succession underlying this process. Early decomposition was dominated by\n                    <jats:italic>Ascomycota<\/jats:italic>\n                    (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>Leotiomycetes<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), which rapidly colonized the litter to initiate biopolymer breakdown. As easily decomposable substrates depleted, a functional shift occurred. Specifically, the highly recalcitrant\n                    <jats:italic>P. taiwanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    litter selectively recruited\n                    <jats:italic>Basidiomycota<\/jats:italic>\n                    (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>Agaricales<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Trechisporales<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) equipped with diverse lignin-modifying enzymes, reflected by a late-stage temporal surge in ligninolytic gene abundances. Ultimately, these findings demonstrate that plant fire-adaptive strategies act as a strong filter, shaping litter chemistry to drive specific taxonomic and functional fungal succession. This study provides a mechanistic understanding of the eco-evolutionary linkage between plant traits, microbiome assembly, and ecosystem-level fire dynamics.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/imafungus.17.201414","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]],"date-time":"2026-10-06T10:54:42Z","timestamp":1791284082000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Metagenomic profiling reveals that divergent fire-adaptive strategies drive distinct fungal succession in pine litter decomposition"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Yan-Han","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Translational Agricultural Sciences, National Cheng Kung University and Academia Sinica, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hsin-Ni","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Tropical Plant Sciences and Microbiology, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yen-Ju","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Tropical Plant Sciences and Microbiology, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsai-Wen","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, Nantou, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ching-An","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Po-Neng","family":"Chiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Forest, National Taiwan University, Nantou, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chao-Li","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Translational Agricultural Sciences, National Cheng Kung University and Academia Sinica, Tainan, Taiwan"},{"name":"Institute of Tropical Plant Sciences and Microbiology, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"201414_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1890\/12-1243.1"},{"key":"201414_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nmeth.3103"},{"key":"201414_B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2745.2009.01539.x"},{"key":"201414_B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/femsec\/fiz059"},{"key":"201414_B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.soilbio.2014.08.005"},{"key":"201414_B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-59631-6"},{"key":"201414_B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/x00-044"},{"key":"201414_B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/665819"},{"key":"201414_B9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bradford MA, Berg B, Maynard DS et al.
