Due to land use history, most of the current temperate and boreal forests are developed on
nutrient-poor and rocky soils, keeping fertile soils for agriculture. Consequently, the …

Fungi are an important and diverse component in various ecosystems. The methods to
identify different fungi are an important step in any mycological study. Classical methods of …

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

Cereal-legume intercropping has been widely used to increase productivity and achieve
sustainable development in modern agricultural systems. However, there has been few …

Alt'itudinal gradients strongly affect plant biodiversity, but the effects on microbial patterns
remain unclear, especially in the large scale. We therefore designed an altitudinal gradient …

The distribution patterns of the microbial community and enzyme activity in soil systems
along an elevation gradient have attracted considerable attention; however, the differences …

Climatic variability along elevational gradients affects biodiversity and produces a natural
range of conditions for realistic experiments. Soil biodiversity is expected to respond to the …

Soil bacterial and fungal communities with different key ecological functions play important
roles in boreal forest ecosystems. Although several studies have reported on the altitudinal …

Altitude influences biodiversity and physiochemical soil attributes in terrestrial ecosystems. It
is of immense importance to know the patterns of how interactions among climatic and …

To reveal the self-coordination mechanism of the fragile ecosystem of alpine tundra, we
explored the relationship between soil microorganisms and other elements. On the alpine …
