1. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikAbstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE

2. The diversity of fungi in coniferous forests and mixed forests
University essay from Karlstads universitetAbstract : The fungal domain has one of the highest biodiversities among eukaryotes and species within the domain fill important ecological roles, such as mutualistic mycorrhiza, decomposers, parasites and pathogens. The development of forest ecosystems and their related processes has not only been linked to fungal diversity but the composition and abundance of fungi benefits the abundance and diversity of other species as well.

3. Quality of Spent Mushroom Compost Amended with Organic Material- Effect on Nutrient Content and Plant Growth
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : Peat, as a non-renewable growing media, poses environmental concerns due to extraction and decomposition processes, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatives growing media with potential to replace or reduce the use of peat are of great need. READ MORE

4. Foliar fungal communities of naturally regenerated and nursery-produced Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant PathologyAbstract : Endophytic fungal communities living in leaves of trees can have a significant impact on their hosts,showing both beneficial and detrimental effects. Some mutualistic fungal species protect the host against pathogens or herbivores, while pathogenic species can increase the vulnerability of the host against biotic and abiotic stresses. READ MORE

5. 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 PathologyAbstract : 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
