Eighteen stem endophytes and 23 core soil fungal taxa were characterized across six site-year combinations in Colorado. The dataset, authored by Neha Panwar and updated in April 2026, correlates fungal community diversity and composition with the abundance of the stem-boring pest Amauromyza karli Hendel. Indicator taxa like Fusarium solani and Cladosporium herbarum were linked to high and low pest pressure, respectively.
Use Cases
- Modeling pest pressure based on fungal community composition and diversity metrics described in the study.
- Identifying fungal indicator taxa for high or low pest abundance as mentioned in the differential-abundance analyses.
- Investigating the relationship between site-year conditions and fungal alpha/beta diversity patterns detailed in the results.
Strengths
- Data is derived from six distinct site-year combinations, suggesting multi-environment sampling.
- Includes results from both culture-based isolation and amplicon-based sequencing methodologies.
- Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The dataset is very small at 11.3 KB, indicating limited scope or highly summarized results.
