Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Soil fungal richness was lower in mobile and semifixed dunes than in fixed dunes and grassland.
- Association SEM attributed direct effects on fungal richness to plant richness and CWM height determined by soil properties.
- Mechanism Soil gradient increased fungal richness indirectly through vegetation.
- Mechanism FDis had a negative indirect effect on soil fungal richness via plant biomass.
- Method / resource The SEM model explained nearly 70% of soil fungal richness variance.
- Association The association between fungal richness and dominant species supported the mass ratio hypothesis.
