Biodiversity hotspots of ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are located in other parts of the world: at low and high latitudes. And these important symbiotic partners of crops and trees deserve more protection! See https://t.co/ae7MJf8bQA and @globalfungi.

The GlobalFungi team is happy to announce that data downloads are now available from GlobalFungi ( https://t.co/obkrtxJW2H). No matter if you are interested in fungal genera, species or species hypotheses, you can now get their sequence counts in all samples at once.

🌳Happy to see our work published in @GlobalChangeBio! This study uncovers how long-term nutrient addition impacts soil carbon accumulation in boreal forests (see below). A big thanks to @baldrianp and the @holisoils team for their contributions! 👉 https://t.co/B14bPb0NWr 1/2

Boreal forests are major carbon sinks, but tree growth and soil carbon sequestration are limited by nutrient availability. Here, we tested whether long-term nutrient additions affect carbon storage...

Dispersal at short distances is more complicated for plants than for microbes. Although plant communities vary with distance travelled, they are not "strong enough" to modify the microbiome, especially bacteria. Chemistry matters more for microbes. https://t.co/HvAMp3bPaM

The path towards sequencing of all eukaryotic genomes of Europe, the goal of @erga_biodiv will be still long - in particular for fungi - but the first step was already made... https://t.co/pvbxhEekOM

DNA-based metabarcoding discovers threatened fungal species even there where they can be missed in fruitbody surveys. Some fungi, though, may escape metabarcoding since deadwood sampling to get eDNA can not be complete. https://t.co/22NqgYFOpn

Fungi and bacteria on the roots of grassland plants are affected by the species identity of neighbouring plants (of course in addition to the soil chemistry and the host plant itself). What is the importance of microbiome sharing in grassland soils? https://t.co/XpGPdHolmJ

Drivers of soil fungal community composition change with scale: vegetation is important at small distances, environmental factors prevail at regional scales. Yeast communities show remarkable spatial homogeneity across spaces with several omnipresent taxa. https://t.co/v2PgCNPrmj

How much do we know about functioning of microbiomes? So far, at least half of large global protein families were unknown. Collaborative sampling of environmment and use of metagenomic data help to identify new proteins including their 3D structures. https://t.co/UYwANdxzjK
