  1. 6. 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

  5. 9. 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
