Fungi are dominant ecological participants in the forest ecosystems, which play a major role
in recycling organic matter and channeling nutrients across trophic levels. Fungal …

Recently, a new annotation tool “FungalTraits” was created based on the previous FUNGuild
and FunFun databases, which has attracted high attention in the scientific community. These …

Forests represent the largest terrestrial ecosystem on Earth, covering about 30% of its
surface, and their microbial inhabitants carry out crucial ecosystem processes. Forests …

Highlights•Soil bacteria display biogeography, and a seed could interact with vastly different
strains depending on germination location.•Plant-associated microbes have far reaching …

Soil biodiversity loss due to pollution may affect ecosystem services negatively. This
environmental problem may be solved by phytoremediation, which is an effective strategy to …

Aims This study was conducted to synthetically investigate how root-associated fungi react
to the environmental variations (plant diversity and soil properties) and changes in their …

Fungal-biogeography studies have shown global patterns of biotic interactions on microbial
biogeography. However, the mechanisms underlying these patterns remain relatively …

Green roof soils are usually engineered for purposes other than urban biodiversity, which
may impact their fungal communities, and in turn impact the health of plants in the urban …

Aim Although soil biodiversity is extremely rich and spatially variable, both in terms of
species and trophic groups, we still know little about its main drivers. Here, we contrast four …

For the first time, this study describes the dynamics of white rot fungal decay in a petrified
conifer branch with clear araucarian affinity from the late Aptian Crato Lagerstätte (Santana …
