Total nitrogen is the main soil property associated with soil fungal community in karst rocky desertification regions in southwest China

Abstract Karst rocky desertification (KRD) is a type of land deterioration, resulting in the degraded soil and a delicate ecosystem. Previous studies focused on the influence of KRD on the animals and plants, the impact of KRD on microorganisms, especially soil fungi remains to be discovered. This s...
