Fungal and fungal‐like diversity present in ornithogenically influenced maritime Antarctic soils assessed using metabarcoding
Abstract We assessed soil fungal and fungal‐like diversity using metabarcoding in ornithogenically influenced soils around nests of the bird species Phalacrocorax atriceps , Macronectes giganteus , Pygoscelis antarcticus , and Pygoscelis adelie on the South Shetland Islands, maritime Antarctic. A to...
