  1. 6. The role of common mycorrhizal networks for forest regeneration near clear-cut edges : implications for management

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

    Author : Marcus Björs; [2022]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhizal fungi; Common mycorrhizal network; Regeneration; Boreal; Scots pine;

    Abstract : Poor regeneration close to edges on clear-cuts and around seed trees in the Swedish boreal zone is well-known to foresters. With an intensifying national and European discussion concerning forestry, the prominence of edge effects is likely to increase. However, little is known of the drivers behind these edge effects.

  3. 7. How low levels of glucose and tryptophan may signal changes in development and symbiotic potential of ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysiologisk botanik

    Author : Alexandra Goetsch; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Symbiosis between tree species and ectomycorrhizal fungi is a fundamental relationship that promotes the overall health of boreal and temperate forests. Nutrient exchange between the two organisms is mutualistic in nature however establishment of this relationship is still not fully understood. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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. 9. Do retention trees affect the composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi? : a comparison between clear-cuts areas with and without retention trees in pine forests

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

    Author : Lill Eilertsen; [2015]
    Keywords : Ectomycorrhizal fungi EMF ; retention forestry; clear-cut; Pine Pinus sylvestris ; soil samples; DNA;

    Abstract : Under det senaste årshundradet har de svenska skogarna genomgått en omfattande förvandling, från mer eller mindre naturligt dynamiska till hårt brukade skogar bestående av monokulturer av tall eller gran. Denna förändring har lett till en minskning av den biologiska mångfalden, att många arter som är beroende av skog har minskat radikalt och hotas av utrotning. READ MORE

  6. 10. Autumn water sources for understory vegetation and fungi in a boreal forest : an evaluation using stable isotopes

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

    Author : Javier Segura; [2013]
    Keywords : Ericaceous shrubs; fungi; Pinus sylvestris; rain event; soil profile; water stable isotopes;

    Abstract : Understory vegetation and fungi are regarded as important ecological drivers of processes like productivity and nutrient cycling in boreal forests. Whilst those processes are linked to soil water content, relatively little is known about the sources of soil water for these forest components. READ MORE
