Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and
biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial …

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 …

This is the twelfth contribution to the Fungal Diversity Notes series on fungal taxonomy,
based on materials collected from many countries which were examined and described …

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

Soil microbes re-establish plant diversity and ecosystem functions after disturbance events.
Deterministic and stochastic processes are expected to contribute to microbial community …

Considerable natural or secondary forests have been converted to plantations in response
to the growing needs for timber, paper, and fuel. Soil fungal communities are sensitive to …

Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate
carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how …

Fungi play a crucial role in the agroecological system; however, little is known about their
large-scale biogeographical patterns and how various ecological processes contribute to …

Plant interactions and feedbacks with soil microorganisms play an important role in
sustaining the functions and stability of terrestrial ecosystems, yet the effects of tree species …

Based on long-term ecological research, microorganisms are sensitive to environmental
changes in the process of ecosystem succession. However, few works have focused on the …
