In the first phase of the project, we have analyzed soil fungal diversity, as reported here. In the next phases of the project we will analyze both fungal and bacterial community composition in more detail in the Bolivian altiplano and in Zambian agricultural systems, synthesizing microbial community data with socioeconomic and soil physico-chemical data.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightPyrosequencingFallow periodSoil microbial communitiesBolivian HighlandsEcosystemPoster
