Metabarcoding Reveals Impact of Different Land Uses on Fungal Diversity in the South-Eastern Region of Antioquia, Colombia
Changes in soil fungal communities caused by land use have not been sufficiently studiedin South American Andosols, which are considered key food production areas. Since fungal communities play an important role in soil functionality, this study analysed 26 soil samples of Andosolscollected from locations devoted to conservation, agriculture and mining activities in Antioquia,Colombia, to establish differences between fungal communities as indicators of soil biodiversityloss using Illumina MiSeq metabarcoding on nuclear ribosomal ITS2 region
