“…Extensive isolation and cultivation with subsequent statistical analysis of the data enabled the estimation of the expected species richness in a forest (e.g. Yurkov et al 2011;Yurkov et al 2016). Using this approach, recent studies reported a remarkably high proportion of potentially unknown taxa from forest soils (Yurkov et al 2012a;Yurkov et al 2016).…”

“…Using this approach, recent studies reported a remarkably high proportion of potentially unknown taxa from forest soils (Yurkov et al 2012a;Yurkov et al 2016). Recent studies demonstrated that spatial distances and regional heterogeneity contributed to the total diversity values in forest biotopes on long-distance , regional (Yurkov et al 2012a) and local (Yurkov et al 2011;Yurkov et al 2016) scales. Less is known about the dissimilarity of soil yeast communities at the same forest sites by repeated sampling.…”

“…A few studies suggested that seasonal changes affect yeast community composition in beech forest soils (e.g. Jensen 1963;Yurkov et al 2011) or in rhizosphere of two herbaceous plants in a birch forest (Golubtsova et al 2007). However, neither of the afore-mentioned studies addressed the influence of repeated sampling on total yeast diversity values and the proportion of newly discovered species with every consecutive sampling.…”

Pioneering studies performed in the nineteenth century demonstrated that yeasts are present in below‐ground sources. Soils were regarded more as a reservoir for yeasts that reside in habitats above it. Later studies showed that yeast communities in soils are taxonomically diverse and different from those above‐ground. Soil yeasts possess extraordinary adaptations that allow them to survive in a wide range of environmental conditions. A few species are promising sources of yeast oils and have been used in agriculture as potential antagonists of soil‐borne plant pathogens or as plant growth promoters. Yeasts have been studied mainly in managed soils such as vineyards, orchards and agricultural fields, and to a lesser extent under forests and grasslands. Our knowledge of soil yeasts is further biased towards temperate and boreal forests, whereas data from Africa, the Americas and Asia are scarce. Although soil yeast communities are often species‐poor in a single sample, they are more diverse on the biotope level. Soil yeasts display pronounced endemism along with a surprisingly high proportion of currently unidentified species. However, like other soil inhabitants, yeasts are threatened by habitat alterations owing to anthropogenic activities such as agriculture, deforestation and urbanization. In view of the rapid decline of many natural habitats, the study of soil yeasts in undisturbed or low‐managed biotopes is extremely valuable. The purpose of this review is to encourage researchers, both biologists and soil scientists, to include soil yeasts in future studies.

Yeasts are common constituents of different types of soil. Their diversity depends on the season, the type and depth of the soil, the plant species, and the locality. In this study, diversity of yeasts isolated from the soil adjacent to five fruit trees (apple, appricot, peach, pear, and plum) in two localities (in Slovakia) in four sampling periods was examined. Our results demonstrated differences in the species richness and evenness among the yeast populations, which inhabited the soil beneath individual fruit tree species in both localities. Altogether, 32 ascomycetous and 27 basidiomycetous yeast species were discovered. The highest species richness was found in the soil adjacent to the apricot trees. Galactomyces candidum, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Schwanniomyces capriottii, andTausonia pullulans, as well as the genus Apiotrichum, were present in soil samples in all samplings. Two species of the genus Holtermanniella (H. festucosa and H. takashimae) were exclusively isolated during Sampling IV in April. Cyberlindnera spp., Clavispora reshetovae, S. capriottii, and Trichosporon asahii were found only in one of two localities. Ascomycetous yeasts were present more frequently than their basidiomycetous counterparts in the three samplings (one in June and two in October); they formed from 65.6% to 70.8% of the total yeast population, whereas basidiomycetous yeasts prevailed in the April sampling (61.2%).
