英文摘要	Desertification-control policies have been applied in the Mu Us Desert since the 1950s. The landscape there is characterized by patches of shrub plants and well-developed lichen and moss crusts, some covered by shrub canopies and some in interspace soils. Little is known about how shrub cover and biocrusts shape soil fungal community structure in this ecosystem. Using high-throughput amplicon sequencing, the effects of biocrust types and shrub cover on soil fungal communities were analyzed. The results showed that biocrust types were more important than shrub cover in affecting soil properties and shaping soil fungal communities. Among all the measured soil properties, significant effects of shrub cover on soil pH and available P were observed. Biocrust types had significant effects on soil total organic carbon, C:N, and C:P ratios. Fungal taxa relating to plant pathogens and formation of lichens, (e.g., the Eurotiomycetes and Dothideomycetes and the of genera Endocarpon and Knufia) were dominant across biocrust types and shrub cover. Furthermore, although relative abundances of dominant fungal taxa were statistically similar among microhabitats, abundances of lichenized and pathogenic fungi differed significantly among biocrust types, with the former showing higher abundances in lichen crusts, and the latter exhibiting higher abundances in moss crosts. Soil total nitrogen and C:N were correlated with fungal community structure. Our results highligh the dominant role of biocrust types over shrub cover in shaping soil fungal communities in the Mu Us Desert. With the succession from lichen to moss crusts, increasing N limitation (soil TOC:TN ratio) may drive higher abundances of pathogenic fungi in lichen crusts and fewer lichenized fungi in moss crusts.
