Connecting the multiple dimensions of global soil fungal diversity: a comprehensive 6-dataset analysis of drivers of alpha, beta, gamma and phylogenetic diversity of fungi globally by Vladimir Mikryukov and co-workers. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Bioinformatics pipelines for HTS reviewed and tested by Ali Hakimzadeh et al. - relvant for fungi and bacteria research. Available at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

MDPI 100% APC vouchers (free publishing) - a scam, because editors find their ways of fully charging for publishing, for example not being the first author or resubmitting after reject/encourage resubmission. My solution: withdrawn accepted manuscript.

Biodiversity and carbon co-crediting might help protecting natural communities and avoiding monospecific plantations:
