Identifying a soil core microbiome is crucial to appreciate the established microbial
consortium, which is not usually subjected to change and, hence, possibly resistant/resilient …

Background Fungi strongly influence ecosystem structure and functioning, playing a key role
in many ecological services as decomposers, plant mutualists and pathogens. The …

The shorter reads generated by high-throughput sequencing has led to a focus on either the
ITS1 or the ITS2 sublocus in fungal diversity analyses. Our study aimed to determine how …

We examined the effect of different soil sample sizes obtained from an agricultural field,
under a single cropping system uniform in soil properties and aboveground crop responses …

Fungi are prominent drivers of ecological processes in soils, so that fungal communities
across different soil ecosystems have been well investigated. However, for arable soils …

Soil health, and the closely related terms of soil quality and fertility, is considered as one of
the most important characteristics of soil ecosystems. The integrated approach to soil health …

Studying fungal diversity is vital if we want to shed light on terrestrial ecosystem functioning.
However, there is still poor understanding of fungal diversity and variation given that Fungi …

Soil fungi play a major role in ecological and biogeochemical processes in forests. Little is
known, however, about the structure and richness of different fungal communities and the …

Biodiversity research rapidly progresses due to the continuous improvement of high-
throughput analysis platforms, which facilitate detailed analyses of the composition and …

Fungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a
very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a …
