Towards a natural classification of Ophiobolus and ophiobolus-like taxa; introducing three novel genera Ophiobolopsis, Paraophiobolus and Pseudoophiobolus in Phaeosphaeriaceae (Pleosporales)
Rungtiwa Phookamsak,Dhanushka N. Wanasinghe,Dhanushka N. Wanasinghe,Sinang Hongsanan,Chayanard Phukhamsakda,Shi-Ke Huang,Shi-Ke Huang,Danushka S. Tennakoon,Danushka S. Tennakoon,Chada Norphanphoun,Erio Camporesi,Timur S. Bulgakov,Itthayakorn Promputtha,Peter E. Mortimer,Jianchu Xu,Kevin D. Hyde,Kevin D. Hyde +16 more
TL;DR: Multigene phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, TEF1-α and ITS sequence data position O. disseminans in a sister clade with O. ponticus and several Entodesmium species in Phaeosphaeriaceae with high support indicate that Entodemium is synonymized under Ophiobolus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Funneliformis mosseae Alters Bacterial Communities in Subtropical Forest Soils during Litter Decomposition.
Heng Gui,Witoon Purahong,Kevin D. Hyde,Jianchu Xu,Jianchu Xu,Peter E. Mortimer,Peter E. Mortimer +6 more
TL;DR: The study provides new insight into the influence of AMF on soil bacterial communities at the genus level and overall soil bacterial OTU richness and diversity are relatively stable and were not significantly influenced by either time or AMF inoculation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural forests maintain a greater soil microbial diversity than that in rubber plantations in Southwest China
Jutamart Monkai,Jutamart Monkai,Jutamart Monkai,Stefanie D. Goldberg,Stefanie D. Goldberg,Kevin D. Hyde,Rhett D. Harrison,Rhett D. Harrison,Peter E. Mortimer,Jianchu Xu,Jianchu Xu,Jianchu Xu +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of forest conversion to rubber plantations on soil microorganisms, using a space for time substitution design, were investigated using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alder trees enhance crop productivity and soil microbial biomass in tea plantations
Peter E. Mortimer,Peter E. Mortimer,Heng Gui,Heng Gui,Heng Gui,Jianchu Xu,Jianchu Xu,C. Zhang,Edmundo Barrios,K.D. Hyde,K.D. Hyde +10 more
TL;DR: There is clear evidence that introducing N-fixing tree species, such as A. nepalensis in tea plantations promotes the growth and development of the soil microbial communities and that this impacts on above ground productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indigenous trees restore soil microbial biomass at faster rates than exotic species
Chun Li,Chun Li,Lingling Shi,Lingling Shi,Anne Ostermann,Anne Ostermann,Jianchu Xu,Jianchu Xu,Yunju Li,Peter E. Mortimer,Peter E. Mortimer +10 more
TL;DR: Soil microbial communities recovered fastest under indigenous compared to exotic trees, which further underlines the importance of tree species selection in restoration management.
