Article Synopsis
- Plant-soil biodiversity interactions are crucial for terrestrial ecosystems, yet it's unclear which specific topsoil microbial and small invertebrate organisms consistently associate with land plants.
- A field survey of 150 land plant species across 124 locations revealed that these plants only shared less than 1% of the soil organisms, mostly generalist decomposers and phagotrophs, with their presence linked to important functional genes.
- Environmental factors like aridity, soil pH, and carbon content can significantly disrupt the relationships between land plants and soil organisms, potentially impacting soil ecosystem processes in the face of climate change.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a reclassification of certain genera based on genetic data, proposing a system that recognizes only three primary genera:
- , and
- It suggests that
- will be an extensive genus with 128 accepted species, absorbing many former species from other genera, which are now considered synonyms.
- An updated taxonomy for nine species complexes within genus
- is provided, describing 17 new species, reinstating 26 older species, and reclassifying 26 currently accepted species as synonyms, along with an identification key for all accepted species.
Tuber borchii forms ectomycorrhiza with oaks, hazel, and pines, including Pinus sylvestris. However, its ectomycorrhiza morphotype with P. sylvestris was not comprehensively described so far, and molecular analyses are missing despite a high danger of misidentification of T.

Yet little is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and natural ecosystems. Here we show that urban greenspaces and adjacent natural areas (i.
