Forestry practices such as afforestation of former agricultural lands and early forest thinning
are applied in several countries. These management strategies increase wood production …

We investigated the wood fungal community composition in stems of living Norway spruce
(Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees in 20–40 year-old forest stands from Latvia that differed in …

Logging residues, consisting of branches and treetops, are increasingly being extracted for
biofuel purposes in Fennoscandia, thereby decreasing the availability of fine woody debris …

Fungal communities have been shown to be highly sensitive toward shifts in plant diversity
and species composition in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of …

Fungi are important members of soil microbial communities with a crucial role in
biogeochemical processes. Although soil fungi are known to be highly diverse, little is …

Tree stumps left after clear-cutting have replaced naturally formed logs as the most common
type of coarse woody debris in managed boreal forests. It is therefore necessary to …

Soil fungi participate in a variety of forest ecological processes and drive the succession of
degraded forests. However, how the soil fungal community and functional taxa change with …

A survey of the patterns of wood decaying fungi as to occurrence of sporocarps on naturally
fallen logs of Norway spruce (Picea abies) was undertaken in two nearby forest stands with …

The aim was to assess fungal communities associated with living needles and soil of Pinus
sylvestris in managed and unmanaged forest stands to get a better understanding of …

Eleven Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) Karst. forests in the boreal zone of Sweden were
studied to investigate the effects of selective cuttings on wood-inhabiting fungi from the …
