Glaciers are retreating globally, and the resulting ice-free areas provide an experimental
system for understanding species colonization patterns, community formation, and …

Fungi are an important and diverse component in various ecosystems. The methods to
identify different fungi are an important step in any mycological study. Classical methods of …

Little is known about the factors affecting the relative influences of stochastic and
deterministic processes that govern the assembly of microbial communities in successional …

The global retreat of glaciers is dramatically altering mountain and high-latitude landscapes,
with new ecosystems develo** from apparently barren substrates,,–. The study of these …

Glaciers cover about 10% of the Earth's land area but they are retreating rapidly and many
will disappear within decades. Glacier retreat is a worldwide phenomenon increasing the …

Fungi are key players in vital ecosystem services, spanning carbon cycling, decomposition,
symbiotic associations with cultivated and wild plants and pathogenicity. The high …

Glacier-retreated areas are ideal areas to study soil biogeochemical processes during
vegetation succession, because of the limited effect of other environmental and climatic …

Plastic waste in the environment is a significant threat due to its resistance to biological
processes. Here we report the ability of fungal strains found on floating plastic debris to …

Restoration aims to return ecosystem services, including the human health benefits of
exposure to green space. The loss of such exposure with urbanization and industrialization …

The impact of climate change on the soil microbiome potentially alters the biogeochemical
cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. In semi‐arid environments, water availability is a major …
