Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

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 …

Soil microbiome has a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning, yet little is known about its build-
up from local to regional scales. In a multi-year regional-scale survey involving 1251 plots …

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

Microbial elevational diversity patterns have been extensively studied, but their shaping
mechanisms remain to be explored. Here, we examined soil bacterial and fungal diversity …

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 …

Recent evidence showed that bacteria and fungi appear to have different latitudinal diversity
gradients at the global scale. However, the ecological drivers explaining these decoupled …

High‐throughput identification technologies provide efficient tools for understanding the
ecology and functioning of microorganisms. Yet, these methods have been only rarely used …

Understanding microbial network assembly is a promising way to predict potential impacts of
environmental changes on ecosystem functions. Yet, soil microbial network assembly in …

There is limited knowledge on how the association of trees with different mycorrhizal types
shapes soil microbial communities in the context of changing tree diversity levels. We used …
