Fungi comprise approximately 20% of all eukaryotic species and are connected to virtually
all life forms on Earth. Yet, their diversity remains contentious, their distribution elusive, and …

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 …

Soils are the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems. However, unlike for plants and animals,
a global assessment of hotspots for soil nature conservation is still lacking. This hampers our …

Increasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in
soils. Yet this relationship has not been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are crucial mutualistic symbionts of the majority of plant
species, with essential roles in plant nutrient uptake and stress mitigation. The importance of …

Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play a pivotal role in
agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography and whether it has a …

Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However,
compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation …

This review presents a comprehensive summary of the latest research in the field of
bioremediation with filamentous fungi. The main focus is on the issue of recent progress in …

Soil microbial communities and their interactions play a critical role in shaping the functions
of ecosystems at regional and continental scales. In recent years, co-occurrence network …

The environmental niche concept describes the distribution of a taxon in the environment
and can be used to understand community dynamics, biological invasions, and the impact of …
