Enumerating soil biodiversity
Soil is an immense habitat for diverse organisms across the tree of life, but just how many
organisms live in soil is surprisingly unknown. Previous efforts to enumerate soil biodiversity …

Effects of microplastics on cadmium accumulation by rice and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in cadmium-contaminated soil
Y Liu, W Cui, W Li, S Xu, Y Sun, G Xu… - Journal of Hazardous …, 2023 - Elsevier
Both microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) are common contaminants in soil-rice systems,
but their combined effects remain unknown. Thereby, we explored the effects of three MPs …

Unambiguous identification of fungi: where do we stand and how accurate and precise is fungal DNA barcoding?
True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Agricultural management and pesticide use reduce the functioning of beneficial plant symbionts
Phosphorus (P) acquisition is key for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) help
plants acquire P from soil. Understanding which factors drive AMF-supported nutrient uptake …

[HTML][HTML] What are the 100 most cited fungal genera?
The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …
