Abstract Cross‐kingdom associations play a fundamental role in ecological processes. Yet our understanding of plant–fungal co‐occurrences tropical rainforests and the potential impacts land‐use change shaping species connections remain limited. By using amplicon sequencing on DNA from roots their associated fungal communities, we aim to understand impact rainforest transformation composition structure root–fungal networks human‐modified landscapes Sumatra, Indonesia. Each type supports distinctive set indicator species, which are organisms that reflect specific environmental conditions can signal changes ecosystem health. We observed decline richness plant taxa with increasing intensification. Additionally, there is turnover root shifting native endemic non‐native, generalist herbaceous rubber oil palm plantations. Plant–fungal connectivity significantly declined intensification, suggesting managed ecosystems may have weakened root‐fungal interactions. Network analysis highlights distinct responses various groups. For instance, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) showed fewer modules linked roots, indicating monocultures. This aligns reduction AMF diversity converted areas compared forests, further reinforcing negative practices monocultures diversity. Synthesis .

Increasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in soils. Yet this relationship has never been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments. Here, using two independent global standardized field surveys, and a range natural human factors, we test between exceeding different critical thresholds maintenance multiple services across biomes. Our analysis shows that, stressors, from medium levels (>50%), negatively significantly correlates with impacts on services, that crossing high-level threshold (over 75% maximum observed levels), reduces soil biodiversity globally. The >75% was consistently seen as an important predictor therefore improving prediction functioning. findings highlight need to reduce dimensionality footprint ecosystems conserve function.

Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here, we examined endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability priority areas for functional groups soil based on six surveys using a high-resolution, long-read metabarcoding approach. We found that all most peaks in tropical habitats, including Amazonia, Yucatan, West-Central Africa, Sri Lanka, New Caledonia, negligible island effect plants animals. also predominantly vulnerable to drought, heat land-cover change, particularly dry regions high human population density.

Abstract Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play pivotal role in agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography whether it has disproportional impact on rare taxa is poorly understood. Here, we used the high-resolution PacBio Sequel targeting entire ITS region to investigate distribution 217 sites across 3000 km gradient Europe. We found consistently lower diversity lands than grasslands, with geographic locations significantly impacting community structures. Prevalent groups became even more abundant, whereas fewer or absent lands, suggesting biotic homogenization due farming. The were narrowly distributed common grasslands. Our findings suggest that disproportionally affected by farming, sustainable practices should protect ecosystem services they support.

We show impact precipitation temperature interactions on local species richness (alpha diversity) climates. Our findings reveal how drives compositional turnover (beta diversity, linking them with regional (gamma diversity). integrate into principles global biodiversity distribution present detailed maps for conservation modeling processes.
