Soil fungi are crucial microorganisms in the functioning of ecosystems. They shape the soil
properties, facilitate nutrient circulation, and assist with plant growth. However, their …

Identifying field management practices to promote crop production, while conserving soil
health is essential to maintain long-term food production in a changing world. Also …

Microbes dominate terrestrial ecosystems via their great species diversity and vital
ecosystem functions, such as biogeochemical cycling and mycorrhizal symbiosis. Fungi and …

Plant and fungal species interactions drive many essential ecosystem properties and
processes; however, how these interactions differ between aboveground and belowground …

Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play important roles in forest ecosystems, and their richness
and composition can change along with elevation and season changes. However, no study …

Soil fungi play an integral and essential role in maintaining soil ecosystem functions. The
understanding of altitude variations and their drivers of soil fungal community composition …

In this study, we provide fungal community structure analysis of three contrasting sites in
secondary succession, and try to identify variables that shape fungal community …

Biological composition and structure vary strongly with elevation, however, the vertical
distribution of soil fauna and its drivers have been rarely investigated. Oribatid mites play an …

Belowground fungi are closely related to crop growth, and agricultural fertilization is widely
known to affect soil fungal communities. Yet it remains unclear whether fungal communities …

Aims This study was conducted to synthetically investigate how root-associated fungi react
to the environmental variations (plant diversity and soil properties) and changes in their …
