Abstract
, in mangrove sediments. In addition, our results highlight a crucial role of dispersal limitation and a minor role of environmental selections on fungal communities in mangrove sediments. These novel findings add important knowledge about the structure, assembly processes, and driving factors of fungal communities in mangrove sediments.
