The increasing application of plastic film has caused the “white pollution” of farmlands in
greenhouses. To date, most studies on the ecology of the plastisphere have focused on the …

Deciphering the relationships between microbes and their host plants is critical for a better
understanding of microbial diversity maintenance and community stability. Here, we …

In recent years, the incidence of fungal infections in humans has increased dramatically,
accompanied by an expansion in the number of species implicated as etiological agents …

During a study of the diversity of soilborne fungi from Spain, a strain belonging to the family
Chaetomiaceae (Sordariales) was isolated. The multigene phylogenetic inference using five …

The semi-arid region of the Western Ordos plateau in Inner Mongolia, China, is home to a
critically endangered shrub species, Potaninia mongolica, which originates from ancient …

The island species–area relationship (SAR) describes how the number of species on an
island varies with its area and provides important information about the maintenance of …

Aim Terrestrial plant species on islands have a long history of study to determine how they
evolved and what explains their levels of endemicity, but studies on fungi are lacking. Here …

Abstract The soils of Lakshadweep Islands are formed as a result of the fragmentation of
coral limestone, that is carbonate-rich, with neutral pH, but poor in plant nutrients. Coconut …

Burrowing animals are a critical driver of terrestrial ecosystem functioning, but we know little
about their effects on soil microbiomes. Here, we evaluated the effect of burrowing animals …

Phyllosphere fungi exhibit a wide range of species and play a pivotal role in island
ecosystem biodiversity. They bolster plant resilience against diseases and environmental …
