Disease Incidence in Sugar Beet Fields Is Correlated with Microbial Diversity and Distinct Biological Markers by Peter Kusstatscher, Tomislav Cernava, Karsten Harms, Johann Maier, Herbert Eigner, Gabriele Berg, Christin Zachow

“…The taxonomic shifts in the fungal microbiome were accompanied by trophic specialization; pathotrophic and symbiotrophic fungi were replaced by saprotrophic fungi in diseased sugar beets. Moreover, samples with high proportions of antagonistic bacteria were not vulnerable to shifts in the fungal microbiome. …”

Simulated nitrogen deposition affects wood decomposition by cord-forming fungi by Bebber, D, Watkinson, S, Boddy, L, Darrah, P

“…Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition affects many natural processes, including forest litter decomposition. Saprotrophic fungi are the only organisms capable of completely decomposing lignocellulosic (woody) litter in temperate ecosystems, and therefore the responses of fungi to N deposition are critical in understanding the effects of global change on the forest carbon cycle. …”

Resource availability as driving factor of the reproductive mode in soil microarthropods (Acari, Oribatida). by Katja Wehner, Stefan Scheu, Mark Maraun

“…The results indicate that for sustaining oribatid mite populations other resources than litter and associated saprotrophic microorganisms are needed. They also indicate that there are two groups of parthenogenetically reproducing species: exploiters of easily available resources and consumers of leaf litter associated resources.…”
