Latitudinal gradients provide opportunities to better understand soil fungal community
assembly and its relationship with vegetation, climate, soil and ecosystem function …

Knowledge of spatiotemporal patterns in species distribution is fundamental to
understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes shaping communities. The …

Soil fungal communities, which drive many ecosystem processes, vary across soil horizons.
However, how fungal communities are influenced by soil horizon layers remains largely …

Environmental variables shifted by climate change act as driving factors in determining plant-
associated microbial communities in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how elevation …

Background Rhizosphere fungi play an important role in plant community dynamics and
biogeochemical cycling. While the drivers of fungal community assembly have been studied …

Disturbances have altered community dynamics in boreal forests with unknown
consequences for belowground ecological processes. Soil fungi are particularly sensitive to …

Subtropical broadleaved forests play a crucial role in supporting terrestrial ecosystem
functions, but little is known about their belowground soil fungal communities despite that …

More carbon (C) is stored globally in soils than biotic and atmospheric pools combined (Lal,
2004). As such, the biogeochemical processes affecting the amount of C sequestered in soil …

Elucidating interactions of above‐ground and below‐ground communities in different habitat
types is essential for understanding biodiversity maintenance and ecosystem functioning …

Soil biota is characterized by spatial patterns that range in scale from a few tens of
micrometres to continental and global scales (Ettema & Wardle, 2002). The factors …
