This analysis showed that 19 of 24 fungal SSU rRNA spliceosomal introns follow sites that are conserved in more than 95% of the fungal sequences (1114 nt in this class), one intron follows a site that is 90-95% conserved (149 nt in this class), two introns follow sites that 80-89% conserved (134 nt in this class), and two introns follow sites that <80% conserved (402 nt in this class).
Given that the distribution and abundance of organisms as a function of environment provides the fundamental basis of many ecological and evolutionary disciplines [ 21 ] , establishing a better understanding of fungal distributions in natural habitats is central to the study of mycology and plant ecology.
Drier habitats generally have less vegetation than do moister, cooler habitats, and plant biomass has been shown to accurately predict the microbial biomass of the soil [ 28 ] . These observations indicate that the plant community may be a good predictor of fungal abundance and richness.
During September of 1998, we measured fungal abundance and richness in each habitat by culturing fungi found on the vegetation in 21 communities.
Both the proportion of days and the average number of consecutive days with maximum diurnal relative humidity less than 50% were negatively related to fungal abundance (r 2= 0.43, P < 0.01; r 2= 0.56, P < 0.001, respectively) and richness (r 2= 0.70, P < 0.001; r 2= 0.72, P < 0.001, respectively).
