Dark Septate Endophyte Fungi and Soil Nutrients for Ulmus Pumila in Inner Mongolia

A study of 200 dark septate endophytic (DSE) fungal strains isolated from Ulmus pumila L. roots across three sandy lands in eastern Inner Mongolia. The dataset includes fungal species composition, colonization rates, and key rhizosphere soil nutrient measurements. It was authored by Yunxia Ma and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling relationships between soil nutrients (TP, TN, OM) and DSE colonization rates based on measured indicators.
• Analyzing spatial heterogeneity in DSE community composition across different sandy land sites.
• Identifying environmental drivers of fungal community assembly based on soil moisture, nitrogen, and organic matter.

Strengths

• Includes 200 isolated DSE fungal strains classified into 16 species across 12 genera.
• Samples were collected from nine plots across three distinct sandy land regions (Hulunbuir, Horqin, Hunshandake).
• Combines traditional morphological and molecular identification methods for fungal characterization.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (77.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary of results rather than raw observational data.
