Discrepancies of fungi and plants in the pattern of beta-diversity with environmental gradient imply a comprehensive community assembly rule

Shota Masumoto et al.

Summary: The discordant trend of beta-diversity values between plant and fungi suggests an ecological rule reflecting plant-fungal interaction. Soil fungal communities can maintain their turnover components while plant communities cannot, and the potential causes for this remain unclear.

Vascular plant and cryptogam abundance as well as soil chemical properties shape microbial communities in the successional gradient of glacier foreland soils

Kaja Rola et al.

Summary: Microbes in glacier forelands play a crucial role in soil development and vegetation structure. This study aimed to investigate the impact of vegetation and soil properties on soil microbial communities after glacier retreat. The results showed significant relationships between distance from the glacier terminus and various factors, such as plant cover, soil C content, AMF spore density, and microbial biomass. Furthermore, both glacier and distance from the terminus were found to influence microbial community structure. These findings highlight the interconnectedness of vegetation, soil, and microbial communities in glacier forelands.

The contribution of intraspecific trait variation to changes in functional community structure along a stress gradient

Ryo Kitagawa et al.

Summary: This study investigates the contribution of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) to changes in functional community structure in tundra vegetation. The results suggest that ITV promotes convergence towards optimal traits, but also allows for trait diversification within communities under competitive conditions.

Soil microbial co-occurrence networks become less connected with soil development in a high Arctic glacier foreland succession

Ke Dong et al.

Summary: Our study suggests that network integration in soil microbial co-occurrence networks does not change over successional time series, but is influenced by soil pH and total organic carbon content. Bacteria play a greater role in the network structure, and the number and relative abundance of keystone species increase significantly when soil pH increases or total organic carbon decreases.

Hidden Species Diversity was Explored in Two Genera of Catapyrenioid Lichens (Verrucariaceae, Ascomycota) from the Deserts of China

Tingting Zhang et al.

Summary: This study conducted a wide-scale field investigation in the arid and semi-arid regions of Northwest China and discovered seven new taxa of catapyrenioid lichens in Verricariaceae, including one genus and one species newly found in China, one genus new to mainland China, and four new species. These findings enrich our understanding of the high species diversity in Verrucariaceae and the lichen flora of Chinese arid and semi-arid deserts.

Environmental micro-niche filtering shapes bacterial pioneer communities during primary colonization of a Himalayas' glacier forefield

Eleonora Rolli et al.

Summary: This study investigates the variability of microbiome in environmentally heterogeneous niches in a glacier moraine and finds that the composition of bacterial communities is determined by micro-environmental conditions, with physico-chemical and micro-climatic variations playing a crucial role.

Successional Herbaceous Species Affect Soil Processes in a High-Elevation Alpine Proglacial Chronosequence

Andrea Mainetti et al.

Summary: This study investigated plant-soil interactions along a proglacial chronosequence in the Italian Alps, focusing on pioneer and grassland species structure and biogeochemical processes. The results showed that pioneer species number and cover significantly increased 10 and 40 years after deglaciation, while alpine grassland species peaked only after 65 and 140 years. Soils beneath vascular plants were enriched in nutrients, especially under alpine grassland species, leading to a more balanced C:N:P stoichiometry in the oldest stages.

Evaluation of seasonal dynamics of fungal DNA assemblages in a flow-regulated stream in a restored forest using eDNA metabarcoding

Shunsuke Matsuoka et al.

Summary: Investigation of seasonal variation in fungal communities through monitoring eDNA in a forest stream revealed a regular annual periodicity in the fungal assemblages, with varying strengths among functional groups. The results suggest that forest streams may trap terrestrial fungal DNA derived from different habitats, allowing the analysis of fungal DNA in stream water to provide information about the temporal variation in fungal communities in both aquatic and surrounding terrestrial ecosystems.
