Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.Long read bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal operon sequencing combined with stable isotope probing (SIP) allowed the differentiation of microbiomes in low‐ and high‐yield blueberry farm soils. This report may ultimately be used to improve productivity and potentially detect the responsible pathogenic agent(s) or other deleterious microbes.

Habitat Modification by Grazing Lawns Reduces Soil Mite Diversity in a South African National Park
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Soil mesofauna are an integral part of the functioning of an ecosystem. They are relatively small in body size, occur in varying habitats and operate in a range of ecological niches. Soil mites are quite sensitive to changes in their environment and contribute to several important ecosystem services in their environments.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.We found that plant species identity and soil properties, especially soil phosphorus availability, independently structured arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community composition in tropical forests across central Panama. We also found that soil nutrient availability may mediate the interaction networks between plants and AMF. ABSTRACT Plant species

Functional Redundancy Buffers Soil Fungal Turnover Against Vegetation Change in an African Savanna
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Using a natural savanna‐forest gradient in South Africa, we show that vegetation transitions drive high turnover in fungal taxonomy but maintain functional stability. Distinct forest communities replaced savanna taxa yet preserved similar guild structures, highlighting a high degree of functional redundancy despite compositional change.

Diversity and Distribution of Soil Fungi in Neotropical Mexican Forests
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.Soil fungal diversity across the Mexican Neotropics remains poorly characterized despite its ecological importance. Using the Global Soil Mycobiome dataset from 55 sites, we identified eight distinct fungal community groups structured primarily by vegetation type and climatic gradients.
