The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Mountains are pivotal to maintaining habitat heterogeneity, global biodiversity, ecosystem
functions and services to humans. They have provided classic model natural systems for …

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 …

Deciphering microbiota functions is crucial to predict ecosystem sustainability in response to
global change. High-throughput sequencing at the individual or community level has …

Aim There have been numerous studies of forest‐soil microbial biogeography, but an
integrated view of edaphic factors, plant, climatic factors, and geographic distance in …

In the processes controlling ecosystem fertility, fungi are increasingly acknowledged as key
drivers. However, our understanding of the rules behind fungal community assembly …

Soil microbial communities are fundamental to maintaining key soil processes associated
with litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and plant productivity and are thus integral to …

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 …

Microbes dominate terrestrial ecosystems via their great species diversity and vital
ecosystem functions, such as biogeochemical cycling and mycorrhizal symbiosis. Fungi and …

Orchid distribution and population dynamics are influenced by a variety of ecological factors
and the formation of holobionts, which play key roles in colonization and ecological …
