Global synthesis of effects of plant species diversity on trophic groups and interactions
Numerous studies have demonstrated that plant species diversity enhances ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems, including diversity effects on insects (herbivores, predators and parasitoids) and plants.

Unrecorded Fungi Isolated from Rhizosphere Soil of Fallopia sachalinensis in Dokdo Islands [PDF]
We isolated fungi from the rhizosphere of Fallopia sachalinensis in Dokdo islands. Morphological and molecular characters, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and partial large subunit (LSU) or partial beta-tubulin genes, were used to ...
