Pushing the frontiers of biodiversity research: Unveiling the global diversity, distribution, and conservation of fungi
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 global soil community and its influence on biogeochemistry
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) …

A few Ascomycota taxa dominate soil fungal communities worldwide
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Microbial interkingdom interactions in roots promote Arabidopsis survival
Roots of healthy plants are inhabited by soil-derived bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes that
have evolved independently in distinct kingdoms of life. How these microorganisms interact …
