Early diverging fungi: diversity and impact at the dawn of terrestrial life
As decomposers or plant pathogens, fungi deploy invasive growth and powerful
carbohydrate active enzymes to reduce multicellular plant tissues to humus and simple …

Fertilization regime has a greater effect on soil microbial community structure than crop rotation and growth stage in an agroecosystem
Z Guo, S Wan, K Hua, Y Yin, HY Chu, D Wang… - Applied Soil Ecology, 2020 - Elsevier
Soil microbes play key roles in soil nutrient cycling and absorption by crops. Thus, shifts in
soil microbial community structure affect the functioning and productivity of agricultural …

Contrasting primary successional trajectories of fungi and bacteria in retreating glacier soils
Early community assembly of soil microbial communities is essential for pedogenesis and
development of organic legacies. We examined fungal and bacterial successions along a …

Bacterial, archaeal and fungal succession in the forefield of a receding glacier
Glacier forefield chronosequences, initially composed of barren substrate after glacier
retreat, are ideal locations to study primary microbial colonization and succession in a …

Vertical distribution of the soil microbiota along a successional gradient in a glacier forefield
Spatial patterns of microbial communities have been extensively surveyed in well‐
developed soils, but few studies investigated the vertical distribution of micro‐organisms in …

Evidence that chytrids dominate fungal communities in high-elevation soils
KR Freeman, AP Martin, D Karki… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Periglacial soils are one of the least studied ecosystems on Earth, yet they are widespread
and are increasing in area due to retreat of glaciers worldwide. Soils in these environments …

Response and resilience of soil biocrust bacterial communities to chronic physical disturbance in arid shrublands
The impact of 10 years of annual foot trampling on soil biocrusts was examined in replicated
field experiments at three cold desert sites of the Colorado Plateau, USA. Trampling …

Distribution patterns of soil microbial eukaryotes suggests widespread algivory by phagotrophic protists as an alternative pathway for nutrient cycling
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of soil environmental DNA (eDNA) allows assessing the
full diversity of soil micro-eukaryotes. The resulting operational taxonomic units (OTUs) can …

Changes of soil bacterial diversity as a consequence of agricultural land use in a semi-arid ecosystem
GC Ding, YM Piceno, H Heuer, N Weinert… - PLOS …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Natural scrublands in semi-arid deserts are increasingly being converted into fields. This
results in losses of characteristic flora and fauna, and may also affect microbial diversity. In …
