BACKGROUND Soil is the largest repository of organic matter on land, storing~ 1500 Gt carbon, which is at least as much as the vegetation (~ 560 Gt) and atmosphere (~ 750 Gt) …
Data sharing is one of the cornerstones of modern science that enables large-scale analyses and reproducibility. We evaluated data availability in research articles across nine …
Despite having key functions in terrestrial ecosystems, information on the dominant soil fungi and their ecological preferences at the global scale is lacking. To fill this knowledge gap, we …
Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …
Soils harbor a substantial fraction of the world's biodiversity, contributing to many crucial ecosystem functions. It is thus essential to identify general macroecological patterns related …
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 …
Evidence is mounting that the immense diversity of microorganisms and animals that live belowground contributes significantly to shaping aboveground biodiversity and the …
Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐ ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …
