Environmental change, including human disturbance, can have a striking impact on the
biodiversity of ecosystems. We used a molecular fingerprinting technique to determine how …

Clear-cutting is the main forest management method in boreal and hemiboreal forests, but
recently its implementation has raised concerns due to its effects on biodiversity, including …

Large-scale forestry has reduced and fragmented the area of primary forest and greatly
impacted communities of organisms, above and below ground. Fungal com-munities, which …

Historical reconstructions of past forest dynamics and stand structures have been used to
establish reference conditions for managing present forest ecosystems. In this study we (1) …

The loss of natural forest habitats due to forestry is the main reason for the decline in boreal
forest biodiversity of the Nordic countries of Europe. Ecological rehabilitation may provide …

Knowledge of how forest management influences soil microbial community interactions is
necessary for complete understanding of forest ecology. In this study, soil microbial …

Boreal forests harbour diverse fungal communities with decisive roles in decomposition and
plant nutrition. Difficulties in studying soil fungi have limited knowledge about how fungal …

Plant community composition, soil moisture, pH, and temperature, as well as the availability
and quality of organic substrates and mineral nutrients, are key factors that control fungal …

Fungi in soil play pivotal roles in nutrient cycling, pest controls, and plant community
succession in terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the ecosystem functions provided by soil fungi …

Aims While fungi are key drivers of the carbon cycle and obligate symbionts of trees, the link
between plant-fungal interactions and landscape vegetation changes has been largely …
