Land use change is one of the major causes biodiversity loss, mostly due to habitat and fragmentation. Belowground fungal diversity very important in terrestrial ecosystems, however, effect land on soil community poorly understood. In this review, a total 190 studies worldwide were analyzed. To monitor change, different parameters such as richness, diversity, composition, root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, spore density, ergosterol, phospholipid...
Including fungi into nature conservation research allows for a more comprehensive view of habitat quality thanks to their unique role in ecosystems. However, broad application as indicators is limited mainly by the ephemeral occurrence fruitbodies and insufficient knowledge ecology. To overcome these limitations, we searched selected fungal peatland indicator species (Arrhenia bigelowii, A. gerardiana, telmatiaea, Cortinarius chrysolitus, C. davemallochii Galerina hybrida) various raised...
Nematodes are numerous in soils and play a crucial role soil food-webs. DNA metabarcoding offers time-effective alternative to morphology-based assessments of nematode diversity. However, it is unclear how different extraction methods prior could affect community analysis. We used with woody vegetation from European latitudinal gradient (29 sites, 39 79°N, ∼4500 km, covering six biomes) systematically evaluate the effect two sources either directly extracted vs. nematodes previously isolated...
Bark beetle infestation is a widespread phenomenon in temperate forests, which are facing significant weather fluctuations accompanying climate change. Fungi play key roles forest ecosystems as symbionts of ectomycorrhizal trees, decomposers, or parasites, but the effect severe disturbances on their communities largely unknown. The responses soil fungal following bark attack were determined using Illumina sequencing samples from 10 microsites mature not attacked by beetle, destroyed and...
Anthropogenic activities during the last century have increased levels of atmospheric CO2. Forest net primary productivity increases in response to elevated CO2, altering quantity and quality carbon supplied rhizosphere. Ectomycorrhizal fungi form obligate symbiotic associations with fine roots trees that mediate improved scavenging for nutrients exchange a carbohydrate supply. Understanding how community structure ectomycorrhizal is altered by climate change important further our...
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi importantly influence seedling growth, nutrition, and survival create an extensive mycelial network interconnecting tree species enabling resource redistribution. Due to their symbiotic relationship with trees, they are impacted by forest disturbances, which of increasing relevance due climate change. The effect disturbance on colonization morphology is still largely unknown. Seedling growth parameters the ECM fungal assemblage roots Norway spruce (Picea abies...
During a mycobiota study of raised bogs in the Hrubý Jesenik Mts., rare fungi Omphaliaster borealis, Galerina sphagnicola, Clavaria argillacea var. sphagnicola, Ramariopsis subarctica and Ascocoryne turficola were found. Descriptions and figures microscopic characters, photos summary of the knowledge on ecology distribution these species in Europe, brief comparison with similar species are given. The boreo-alpine borealis is reported from Czech Republic for first time. It can be confused...
Fungi are a highly diverse group of organisms and play significant role in decomposition carbon cycling boreal ecosystems. To determine how fungal communities structured peat bogs to obtain representative samples for monitoring community changes, we separately sampled sequenced (ITS2, Illumina MiSeq) peat, mixed litter from individual dominant plant species five permanent plots raised the Jizerské Hory Mountains (Czech Republic). In total, detected 68–103 OTUs per plot. The assemblages were...
Alnus nepalensis and Schima wallichii are native tree species accompanying succession in abandoned agricultural land the middle mountainous region of central Nepal. To understand how root fungi recover during spontaneous succession, we analyzed diversity composition arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM), ectomycorrhizal (ECM), total fine roots from three use types, short-term (SA), long-term (LA), regenerated forest (RF) as a reference. Additionally, ECM morphotypes were examined. The results showed...
Due to ongoing climate change, forests are expected face significant disturbances more frequently than in the past. Appropriate management is intended facilitate forest regeneration. Because European temperate mostly consist of trees associated with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, understanding their role these important develop strategies minimize consequences and effectively restore forests. Our aim was determine how traditional (EXT) nonintervention (NEX) originally Norway spruce ( Picea...
