ENAGenomicsINSTITUTE OF BOTANY, CAShttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB25443To test tree diversity effects on saprotrophic fungal community in litter and subsequent ecosystem functioning, we conducted an experiment based on the only one subtropical forest diversity experiment (BEF-China) within the TreeDivNet global network (http://www.treedivnet.ugent.be/). In this study, we sampled mixed leaf litters at the plot level along the gradient of tree diversity including one-, two-, four-, eight-, and sixteen-tree species richness. Saprotrophic fungal community in these mixed litters were estimated using the Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform. We found plot-wide tree richness did not change the diversity of saprotrophic fungi in litter, but showed a mid-domain effect on the taxonomic group of phylum Ascomycota.ENAPilz, l(1)G0014, Filamentous Fungi, Forestland, Woodlands, Molds, Mainland China, content, anon-WO03040301.224, Woodland, Fungi, Fungus, fungus, composition, CG4399, Filamentous Fungus, Forested Areas, Tree, compositionality, Mycota, composed of, People's Republic of China, EAST, Mold, DmelCG4399, Manchuria, Forestlands, Inner Mongolia, Filamentous, l(1)G0500, structure, Sinkiang., Forested, Areas, Area, species, fungi, EG:133E12.4, Forest, su(w[sp]), East, Forested AreaPilz, Filamentous Fungi, exact)., Molds, exact), Filamentous, Fungi, Fungus, fungus, species, fungi, Filamentous Fungus, Tree, Mycota, hoja (Spanish, 葉 (Japanese, Mold0.00.00.00.00.0falseTree species richness and fungi inhabiting mixed leaf littersEffects of tree species richness on the taxa, diversity and community composition of saprotrophic fungi in freshly-fallen leaves in a subtropical forest of south-east China2018-03-082020-03-07PRJEB25443
