Forest management aimed to maximize timber production might impact soil fungi, especially
those symbiotically associated to tree roots. In this study, we analyse the temporal dynamics …

Species richness and sporocarp density of ectomycorrhizal fungi in stands of Pinus
sylvestris (Scots pine) in The Netherlands have decreased during the last decades. The …

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 …

Shifts in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community composition occur after clearcut logging,
resulting in the loss of some dominant forest fungi. Because decaying wood is a remnant of …

Forest restoration has become one of the most important challenges for restoration ecology
in the recent years. In this regard, soil fungi are fundamental drivers of forest ecosystem …

Forestry with short stand generations and simplified forest structures has markedly affected
forest biodiversity. One group of organisms adversely affected by clear‐cutting is …

Soil ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi play pivotal roles in plant performance and
ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of forest secondary succession on their …

Forestry reshapes ecosystems with respect to tree age structure, soil properties and
vegetation composition. These changes are likely to be paralleled by shifts in microbial …

Management of boreal forests with clear-cutting has a marked effect on forest biodiversity.
One directly and severely affected group of species is ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), because …

Predicted changes in global climate might negatively affect the soil microbiome and
associated ecosystem processes in Mediterranean forests. Forest treatments, such as forest …
