Fungi play many essential roles in ecosystems. They facilitate plant access to nutrients and
water, serve as decay agents that cycle carbon and nutrients through the soil, water and …

As the primary decomposers of organic material in terrestrial ecosystems, fungi are critical
agents of the global carbon cycle. Yet our ability to link fungal community composition to …

Aim Dead wood‐inhabiting bryophyte communities are formed by several important factors.
Besides the amount, quality and continuity of the substrate, there are also external factors …

The richness of saproxylic species is commonly found to be compromised in managed
forests. However, it is often less clear if this reflects local scarcity of high quality deadwood …

Tree species is one of the most important determinants of wood-inhabiting fungal community
composition, yet its relationship with fungal reproductive and dispersal traits remains poorly …

Abstract Theory predicts that the energetic cost of competition between fungal mycelia might
accelerate or retard the rate of wood decomposition, depending on various factors. To …

Background and aims–Lignicolous fungal assemblages perform numerous functions in
forest ecosystems, one of the most important being their capacity to decay wood. As a …

The success of habitat enhancements is typically assessed by subsequent monitoring of the
focal taxonomic group. However, enhancement actions are likely to affect other, non …
