Fungi in coastal wetland
To investigate whether and how the effects of climate warming on soil microbes differ between native plant wetlands and invasive plant wetlands, we examined the temporal dynamics of soil fungi under experimental warming in two coastal wetlands where native Phragmites australis and invasive Spartina alterniflora were dominant, respectively. The field experiment is a part of Coastal-wetland Research On Warming Network (CROWN), located in a muddy coastline along the Jianghuai Plain, Jiangsu Province, China.
