How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown,
hindering the management of this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high …

Soil fungi are fundamental to plant productivity, yet their influence on the temporal stability of
global terrestrial ecosystems, and their capacity to buffer plant productivity against extreme …

Introduction The kingdom Fungi is one of the most diverse groups of organisms on Earth,
and they are integral ecosystem agents that govern soil carbon cycling, plant nutrition, and …

Globally, soils are subject to radical changes in their biogeochemistry as rampant
deforestation and other forms of land use and climate change continue to transform planet …

The diversity patterns of plants at large scale are broadly documented, but that of soil fungi
remains elusive. Limited reports on soil fungal biogeography mainly are based on species …

Fungi play pivotal roles in ecosystem functioning, but little is known about their global
patterns of diversity, endemicity, vulnerability to global change drivers and conservation …

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

Fungi represent a large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth and fungal activity
influences the structure of plant and animal communities, as well as rates of ecosystem …

Ecologists have long sought to understand global patterns of biological diversity (,). Most
work on this topic has focused on visible aboveground organisms that can easily be …

The evolutionary and environmental factors that shape fungal biogeography are
incompletely understood. Here, we assemble a large dataset consisting of previously …
