Effect of karst rocky desertification on soil fungal communities in Southwest China

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
Karst mountainous ecosystems are associated with karst rocky desertification (KRD), which can greatly impact soil structure and function. Despite the importance of soil microbes as a major factor maintaining ecosystem stability, we know little about the effect on soil fungal communities of KRD in karst regions.
