  1. 11. Effect of experimental warming and assembly history on wood decomposition

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap

    Author : Saba Hagos; [2020]
    Keywords : wood decay fungi; species composition; assembly history; warming; temperature; fungal growth; decomposition; carbon dioxide; climate feedbacks; species priority; polypore; microcosm; Norway spruce;

    Abstract : Sammanfattning: Wood decay fungi are the main decomposer of lignocellulose material stored in wood. Thus, all factors that affect them could affect their ecological function. This in return, may affect ecosystem functioning in terms of altered carbon emissions from dead wood. READ MORE

  3. 12. Biological control of fungal diseases in a forest nursery : impact on the fungal community, species abundance and some fungal pathogens

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

    Author : Elin Persson; [2020]
    Keywords : biological control; forest nursery; fungal communities; pathogens; metabarcoding;

    Abstract : There is a large production of regeneration material in Sweden, where modernization and new technologies have made it possible to produce a large number of high-quality seedlings. To provide the whole forestry sector with seedlings for regeneration, forest nurseries must as well make sure that the management generate healthy seedlings. READ MORE

  4. 13. Effects of organic matter depletion on fungal communities in a reconstructed boreal forest podzol system

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

    Author : Katharine Alice King; [2020]
    Keywords : ectomycorrhizal fungi; fungal community structure; fungal diversity; high throughput sequencing; podzol; soil horizons;

    Abstract : The boreal forest biome serves as a valuable resource, both as a source of wood, pulp and biofuel, and as a sink of atmospheric carbon (C). A large proportion of C is sequestered to the soil of the boreal biome, however belowground processes are still poorly understood. READ MORE

  5. 14. Fungal endophyte communities in declining and vital oak (Quercus robur L.) trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Baiba Matule; [2018]
    Keywords : endophytic fungi diversity; forest microbiome; morphological identification of fungi; Quercus robur L.; plant-endophyte interaction;

    Abstract : The role of microbiome in tree health is receiving increasing interest in forest pathology research. This study focuses on the abundance and diversity of fungal endophytes in pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) differentiating in vitality. READ MORE

  6. 15. Phosphorus speciation across elevation and vegetation in soils of the subarctic tundra : A solution 31P NMR approach

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Johannes Krohn; [2017]
    Keywords : Climate warming; arctic ecosystems; tundra; phosphorus; Solution 31P NMR;

    Abstract : In tundra, phosphorus (P) is an important macronutrient for plants and microorganisms. A major fraction of P exists as organic compounds in the topsoil which can be mineralized to bioavailable inorganic P. READ MORE
