  1. 1. Drought resistance of Ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Suillus genus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Patricia Salén; [2024]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhiza; drought; Suillus;

    Abstract : Rising instances of drought are causing more tree seedling fatalities post-nursery outplanting. In the face of climate change, fostering resilient forestry practices is imperative for preserving the health and functionality of our forests. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : August Hedberg; Julian Säflund; [2023]
    Keywords : primary succession; succession; ectomycorrhiza; saprotroph; tree growth; Pinus sylvestris; soil fungi;

    Abstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE

  4. 3. How is carbon stored in boreal forest soils? - A method development which investigates at what protein concentration ferrihydrite and goethite are saturated.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Louise Berild; [2023]
    Keywords : Soil nitrogen; soil carbon; boreal forest; ectomycorrhizal fungi; decomposition; adsorption; ferrihydrite; goethite; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Boreal forests store the majority of their carbon in the soil and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, the mechanisms that control carbon storage in boreal soils are not well understood. READ MORE

  5. 4. Ectomycorrhizal fungi community shift along gradient from forest to clearcut : two field seasons after harvest of old growth Scots pine forests

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Linda Johannesson; [2023]
    Keywords : biodiversity; ectomycorrhiza; retention trees; ; fungi; clearcutting;

    Abstract : It is known that the number of ECM decline and the community composition is altered by clearcutting. This study aims to investigate impacts at a more detailed scale. READ MORE

  6. 5. The impact of forest management methods on the ectomycorrhizal community and implications for forest productivity in needleleaf forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Oskar Göransson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhiza; forestry; clearcutting; continuous cover forestry; biodiversity; forest productivity; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) form symbiotic relationships with trees by connecting to the roots, procuring soil nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates, and are an important contributor to plant growth. The forestry practice of clearcutting can be detrimental to the ECM community by removing its source of energy and creating unfavorable soil conditions, acutely reducing ECM diversity. READ MORE
