Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Abstract Arctic warming accelerates permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, increasing terrestrial material transport to the ocean. Using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data (2002–2023), we report a widespread increase in the diffuse attenuation coefficient Kd(490) across Arctic shelves since 2018, notably in the Laptev and Kara ...
