Fungal Diversity in Soil is Essential for Global Health

Fungi are key constituents of the soil microbial community, playing a major role in moving carbon and energy through the soil food web. A recent analysis carried out by Professor Matthias C. Rillig from Freie Universität Berlin highlights the importance of soil fungal communities for ecosystem stability, agricultural productivity, and carbon storage. The article, “Fungal Diversity, Ecology, and Functions in Soil Ecosystems,” was published in the scientific journal Nature Reviews Microbiology.
