Fungal Phylum Distribution Across Antarctic and Alaskan Valleys #2077673 (License: Personal Use)

The chart displays relative abundances of Ascomycota (blue), Basidiomycota (red), Chytridiomycota (green), and Unknown (purple) fungi in soil or environmental samples from Miers Valley (Antarctica), Battleship Promontory (Antarctica), and Alatna Valley (Alaska). Ascomycota dominates in all locations-especially in Alatna Valley (>60%)-while Chytridiomycota is notably higher in Miers Valley (~40%). The “Unknown” category remains small but non-negligible, suggesting gaps in taxonomic resolution.

Used in scientific publications, ecology reports, or environmental microbiology webpages to illustrate biogeographic patterns in fungal diversity; targets researchers, students, and conservation professionals seeking comparative microbial ecology data.
