Abstract

Habitat fragmentation, the edge effect, geographic isolation, and agricultural and livestock pressure are some of the threats faced by many Mediterranean ecosystems. As an example of this, El Monte of Villoria, where three areas with a predominance of different species of the Quercus genus (holm oak, holm oak and Pyrenean oak, and cork oak) have been studied. The macrofungal diversity of this forest has been studied to examine the health status of these fragmented ecosystems, obtaining values lower than those indicating an acceptable status of conservation. A total of 186 taxa have been registered distributed in different study plots, whose distribution was conditioned by the different dominant tree species in each of these plots, reaching a higher alpha diversity in the cork oak plot and lower in the holm oak plot and in the holm and Pyrenean oak plot. The high proportion of saprophytic species indicates that the conservation status of the plots is not optimal. However, El Monte de Villoria acts as a refuge for biodiversity in an area of high intervention of the natural environment and its conservation should be prioritized
