Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important habitat for many species in forest ecosystems.
However, forestry has decreased the abundance of CWD so that many wood‐dependent …

Niche differentiation in soil horizons, host species and natural nutrient gradients contribute
to the high diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forests. This study aims at …

Integrative management strategies that simultaneously aim for wood production and
biodiversity conservation are considered crucial to protect biodiversity of forest species …

Harmonization of timber production and forest conservation is a major challenge of modern
silviculture. For the establishment of ecologically sustainable forest management, the …

Forest management activities can reduce ectomycorrhizal fungus diversity and forest
regeneration success. We examine contrasts in structural retention as they affect sporocarp …

Wood‐decaying fungi are crucial for the functioning of forest ecosystems. We tested the
hypotheses that on coarse woody debris (CWD), the abundance, diversity and composition …

Functional traits are widely recognized as a useful framework for testing mechanisms
underlying species community assemblage patterns and ecosystem processes. Functional …

In forest ecosystems, plant communities shape soil fungal communities through the
provisioning of carbon. Although the variation in forest composition with latitude is well …

Ecological and taxonomic knowledge is important for conservation and utilization of
biodiversity. Biodiversity and ecology of fungi in Mediterranean ecosystems is poorly …

Abstract Purpose of Review Biodiversity is one of the most important features of forest
ecosystems. One of the goals of Sustainable Forest Management is to reduce biodiversity …
