Patterns in microbial diversity across – PubMed

We analysed microbial biodiversity metrics and distribution of potential functional groups along a gradient of increasing land-use perturbation, detecting over 79,000 bacterial and 25,000 fungal OTUs in 715 sites across 24 countries. We found the lowest bacterial and fungal diversity in less-disturbed environments (woodlands) compared ...
