Global diversity and geography of soil fungi

Leho Tedersoo, +57 more
- 28 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Diversity of most fungal groups peaked in tropical ecosystems, but ectomycorrhizal fungi and several fungal classes were most diverse in temperate or boreal ecosystems, and manyfungal groups exhibited distinct preferences for specific edaphic conditions (such as pH, calcium, or phosphorus).
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological mechanisms underlying the sustainability of the agricultural heritage rice–fish coculture system

TL;DR: It is documented that a mutually beneficial relationship between rice and fish develops in RF: Fish reduce rice pests and rice favors fish by moderating the water environment, resulting in low N fertilizer application and low N release into the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive Feedback between Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plants Influences Plant Invasion Success and Resistance to Invasion

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the invasive S. canadensis alters soil AMF community composition because of fungal-host preference, which generates positive feedback to thevasive S.Canadensis itself and decreases AM associations with native K. striata, thereby making the native K .
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced allelopathy and competitive ability of invasive plant Solidago canadensis in its introduced range

TL;DR: A hypothesis that enhanced production of allelopathic compounds results in greater competitive ability of invasive plants in the invaded range rather than in the native range is tested.
