Grass-microbial inter-domain ecological networks associated with alpine grassland productivity by Yingcheng Wang, Yingcheng Wang, Ning Dang, Ning Dang, Kai Feng, Junbang Wang, Xin Jin, Shiting Yao, Linlin Wang, Linlin Wang, Songsong Gu, Hua Zheng, Guangxin Lu, Ye Deng, Ye Deng

“…Inter-Domain Ecological Network showed that the grass species formed complex and stable ecological networks with some bacterial, archaeal, and fungal species, and the grass-fungal ecological networks showed the highest robustness, which indicated that soil fungi could better co-coexist with aboveground grass in alpine grasslands. …”

Rhizosphere fungal community assembly varied across functional guilds in a temperate forest by Shuang Liang, Ricardo Arraiano-Castilho, Lena Neuenkamp, Hui Li, Zhen Bai, Mengxu Zhang, Jin Yin, Zuoqiang Yuan, Xugao Wang

“…Furthermore, it is unknown whether the relative contributions of important determinants remain consistent or vary across fungal ecological guilds. This study used high-throughput next-generation sequencing to characterize the fungal communities of 247 rhizosphere soil samples from 19 tree species in a temperate forest within Northeast China. …”
