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

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

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

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

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

In forest ecosystems, plant communities shape soil fungal communities through the
provisioning of carbon. Although the variation in forest composition with latitude is well …

Resource islands around woody plants are thought to define the structure and function of
many semiarid and arid ecosystems, but their role in patterning of soil microbial communities …

Abiotic and biotic drivers of co-occurring fungal functional guilds across regional-scale
environmental gradients remain poorly understood. We characterized fungal communities …

Background Large-diameter trees have an outsized influence on aboveground forest
dynamics, composition, and structure. Although their influence on aboveground processes is …

Exploring the link between above‐and belowground biodiversity has been a major theme of
recent ecological research, due in large part to the increasingly well‐recognized role that …
