Soil Fungal Diversity from Sathyamangalam Forest
To characterize the fungal community composition in forest soil samples from the Sathyamangalam Forest region.To identify dominant fungal taxa and rare or novel lineages associated with tropical and deciduous forest soils.To provide publicly accessible sequence data that can serve as a reference for future ecological, conservation, and biotechnological studies.To compare soil fungal diversity across different sites within the forest ecosystem and relate patterns to environmental factors.To contribute to global databases (SRA/GenBank) that support fungal systematics, ecology, and functional studies.
