The microfungal community on Chamaerops humilis L. leaf litter was monitored from March 1999 to Jannuary 2001, using the litter bag method. The succession of microfungi was analysed, and then primary and secondary colonisers were identified. The cooccurrence analysis between major colonisers was performed and their biotic interactions were investigated during leaf litter decomposition.
