Assessing soil microbes that drive fairy ring patterns in temperate semiarid grasslands
Abstract Background Fairy rings occur in diverse global biomes; however, there is a critical knowledge gap regarding drivers of fairy rings in grassland ecosystems. Grassland fairy rings are characterized belowground by an expanding mycelial front and aboveground by vigorous vegetation rings that de...
