Abstract Soil eukaryotes, including fungi, protists, plants, and animals, are central to biosphere functioning and resilience. The Global Standardised Soil Eukaryome Dataset (GloSED) is the first dataset encompassing the entire spectrum of soil eukaryotes, covering 4,063 sampling sites in 121 countries on all continents, revealing nearly one million operational taxonomic units. All samples were collected and analysed using a standardised protocol minimizing technical biases.
Introduction In terrestrial ecosystems, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi engage in symbiosis with > 70% of terrestrial plants (Brundrett & Tedersoo, 2018). These fungi occupy the soil where their hyphae grow and forage for resources such as phosphorus (P). Their ability to access such resources is fundamental to their obligate symbiotic relationship with plants, as supply of soil nutrients is exchanged for carbon within the host roots (Smith & Read, 2008).
Abstract Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCO2) effects on plants depend on several factors including plant photosynthetic physiology (e.g. C3, C4), soil nutrient availability and plants’ co-evolved soil-dwelling fungal symbionts, namely arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Complicated interactions among these components will determine the outcomes for plants.
