Our study investigates the landscape-scale connections among fungal communities associated with grapevines and those in woody plants dominating the areas surrounding grapevine plantations, such orchards and regenerating seminatural shrublands. More specifically, we compare the mycobiome of leaves and woody tissues of grapevine, selected fruit tree species and naturally occurring native rosid shrubs growing in adjacent areas. Thus, in this study, we apply a regional approach that examines not only the economically significant plant but also the semi-natural vegetation growing in its environment. Additionally, we compare the composition, diversity, and dynamics of the microbiomes of cultivated and native plants over a growing season in two heterogeneous landscape consisting of the above-mentioned matrix elements.
