Impacts of Litter Composition on the Structure and Functional Pathways of Soil Microbial Community during <i>Phyllostachys Edulis</i> Expansion by Huiyun Dong, Shuai Shao, Chenfei Liang, Qiufang Xu, Junhui Chen, Hua Qin

“…Moreover, the increased proportion of bamboo litter (0% PP→100% PP) increased the relative abundance of membrane transport and carbohydrate metabolism of soil bacteria but decreased the relative abundance of saprotrophic soil fungi. Redundancy analysis showed that bacteria rather than fungal communities changed greatly during incubation (<i>p</i> < 0.05). …”

Soil Fungal Diversity and Ecology Assessed Using DNA Metabarcoding along a Deglaciated Chronosequence at Clearwater Mesa, James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula by Vivian N. Gonçalves, Juan M. Lirio, Silvia H. Coria, Fabyano A. C. Lopes, Peter Convey, Fábio S. de Oliveira, Micheline Carvalho-Silva, Paulo E. A. S. Câmara, Luiz H. Rosa

“…Based on the sequence diversity obtained, Clearwater Mesa soils contain a complex fungal community, including the presence of fungal groups generally considered rare in Antarctica, with dominant taxa recognized as cold-adapted cosmopolitan, endemic, saprotrophic and phytopathogenic fungi. Clearwater Mesa ecosystems are impacted by the effects of regional climatic changes, and may provide a natural observatory to understand climate change effects over time.…”
