BACKGROUND All vascular plants associate with fungi and bacteria—the microbiome. Root
associations with mycorrhizal fungi benefit most plants by enhancing their nutrient access …

Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

Aboveground–belowground interactions exert critical controls on the composition and
function of terrestrial ecosystems, yet the fundamental relationships between plant diversity …

Introduction The kingdom Fungi is one of the most diverse groups of organisms on Earth,
and they are integral ecosystem agents that govern soil carbon cycling, plant nutrition, and …

Despite widespread anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, it remains unclear how nutrient
enrichment influences plant–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis and ecosystem …

There are numerous ways in which plants can influence the composition of soil
communities. However, it remains unclear whether information on plant community …

Pesticides are essential to modern human production activities, particularly those increasing
global food production and quality; however, corresponding pesticide contamination is …

Plant species richness and the presence of certain influential species (sampling effect) drive
the stability and functionality of ecosystems as well as primary production and biomass of …

Previous studies have revealed inconsistent correlations between fungal diversity and plant
diversity from local to global scales, and there is a lack of information about the diversity …

Fungi play an important regulating role in terrestrial ecosystem functioning. However, their
biogeographic distribution patterns along combined gradients of plant communities and …
