Changes in bacterial and fungal communities across compost recipes, preparation methods, and composting times. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Compost production is a critical component of organic waste handling, and compost applications to soil are increasingly important to crop production. However, we know surprisingly little about the microbial communities involved in the composting process ...

Fungal diversity and specificity in Cephalanthera damasonium and C. longifolia (Orchidaceae) mycorrhizas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Orchids depend on mycorrhizal fungi for their nutrition, at least in the early stages of their growth and development and in many cases throughout the life.

Comparative metagenomics approaches to characterize the soil fungal communities of western coastal region, Saudi Arabia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
A total of 145007 reads were obtained from pyrosequencing for all the 4 samples. The total count ranged from 11,301,014 (Mecca old road) to 23,503,512 bp (Thuwal).

Distinct Microbial Communities in Adjacent Rock and Soil Substrates on a High Arctic Polar Desert

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Understanding microbial niche variability in polar regions can provide insights into the adaptive diversification of microbial lineages in extreme environments. Compositions of microbial communities in Arctic soils are well documented but a comprehensive

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

Environmental metabarcoding reveals contrasting belowground and aboveground fungal communities from poplar at a Hg phytomanagement site [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Characterization of microbial communities in stressful conditions at a field level is rather scarce, especially when considering fungal communities from aboveground habitats. We aimed at characterizing fungal communities from different poplar habitats at

Response of rhizosphere microbial community of Chinese chives under different fertilization treatments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Soil microorganisms play an irreplaceable role in agricultural production, however, an understanding of response of soil microorganisms to slow-release and common fertilizer applications is limited.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

The Effects of Host Plant Genotype and Environmental Conditions on Fungal Community Composition and Phosphorus Solubilization in Willow Short Rotation Coppice

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Phosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient. Low availability of P in soil is mainly caused by high content of Fe2O3 in the clay fraction that binds to P making it unavailable. Beneficial microbes, such as P solubilizing microorganisms can increase the

Functional Specialisation and Diversity Shape the Rhizosphere Microbiota of Cacao and Coffee in the Amazonas Region, Peru

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
The microbial species composition, abundance and functional profiles in the rhizospheric soils of cacao and coffee were evaluated. Our findings highlight the presence of predominant but functionally specialised taxa that play unique functional roles within the cacao and coffee rhizosphere ecosystems.
