Fungi are eukaryotes that play essential roles in ecosystems. Among fungi, Basidiomycota is
one of the major phyla with more than 40,000 described species. We review species …

Fungi are key players in vital ecosystem services, spanning carbon cycling, decomposition,
symbiotic associations with cultivated and wild plants and pathogenicity. The high …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N
enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly …

Eutrophication substantially influences the community structure of aquatic organisms and
has become a major threat to biodiversity. However, whether eutrophication is linked to …

Factors that drive continental-scale variation in root microbiota and plant adaptation are
poorly understood. We monitored root-associated microbial communities in Arabidopsis …

High throughput sequencing of PCR amplicons derived from environmental DNA (aka DNA
metabarcoding) has become an integral part of fungal ecology, enabling in-depth …

The microbial biodiversity found in different vitivinicultural regions is an important
determinant of wine terroir. It should be studied and preserved, although it may, in the future …

The oral microbiome is an emerging field that has been a topic of discussion since the
development of next generation sequencing and the implementation of the human …

Pesticides are widely applied in agriculture to combat disease, pests, and weeds, leading to
long-lasting contamination of agricultural soils with pesticide residues. While classical risk …

Vegetation restoration affects belowground microbial diversity and trait-based life strategies,
as well as soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. Despite the growing focus on microbial …
