sylvestris in managed and unmanaged forest stands to get a better understanding of …

Fungi play key roles in forest ecosystems and help to shape the forest's diverse functions.
However, little is known about the diversity of phyllospheric fungi or their possible …

The plant-and soil-associated microbial communities are critical to plant health and their
resilience to stressors, such as drought, pathogens, and pest outbreaks. A better …

We assessed the diversity and composition of fungal communities in different functional
tissues and the rhizosphere soil of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies stands along the …

In forest nurseries, foliar fungi play a key role in the health of tree seedlings. The aim of this
study was to study the diversity and the development of foliar fungal species associated with …

Conifer needles are typically long lived and can host a diverse community of fungal species
with various effects on their host tree. The purpose of this study was to analyse shifts in the …

The aim of this study was to assess fungal communities in roots of healthy-looking Pinus

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

This study aimed to assess the changes in chemical properties and fungal communities in
the upper mineral soil layer in managed Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) ecosystems. Study …

Soil fungal diversity is essential in ecosystem functioning. Disturbances in the fungal
community as a result of abiotic or biotic factors may lead to diseases in the plants. This …
