Analysis of fungal community structure and co-occurrence networks across vegetation types in volcanic lava habitats (opens in new tab)

The eruption of Wudalianchi Volcano directly damaged the soil and vegetation, forcing succession to restart from bare land. It influenced subsequent vegetation succession. This study utilizes the Wudalianchi volcanic lava plateaus as a model, employing high-throughput sequencing to unravel the drivers of soil fungal diversity across a vegetation gradient: moss (M), herb (H), shrub (S), broadleaf forest (B), and mixed coniferous-broad-leaved forest (C). This study found that Ascomycota (43.39%...
