“…Several studies have noted that Heterobasidion spp. fruitbody development is promoted by shade and moisture [5,43,44]. In this study, invertebrate groups that prefer moist environments, such as Haplotaxida, Diplopoda and Chilopoda, were also frequently detected in fruitbodies.…”

“…Fruitbodies develop on the part of the infected substrate that are in contact with the soil [7]. If the wood substrate is embedded in the soil, the fruitbody develops in a narrow line at the point of contact between the soil and the wood [5]. Therefore, the dominant invertebrate taxa in fruitbodies were also present in wood and soil samples (Table 1, Figure 4).…”

“…Bref. are found in Latvia, and both of these species form fruitbodies on infected P. abies wood at a similar rate [5]. Studies conducted in Germany and Finland [6,7] have indicated that a large number of fruitbodies are formed on 3-to 4-year-old large dimension P. abies logs that are left in stands after forest operations.…”

“…Studies conducted in Germany and Finland [6,7] have indicated that a large number of fruitbodies are formed on 3-to 4-year-old large dimension P. abies logs that are left in stands after forest operations. In Latvia, the area covered by fruitbodies on 3-to 4-year-old P. abies logs is on average 3759 cm 2 /m 3 , and can exceed 5000 cm 2 /m 3 on logs in stands growing on drained peat soils [5].…”

“…Therefore, to reduce the risk of infection, several studies have recommended the removal of large dimension P. abies logs that are infected by Heterobasidion spp. from forest stands [5][6][7]. However, other studies have indicated that large dimension P. abies logs are important as a habitat to many fungal and invertebrate species [10,11].…”

Heterobasidion spp. pathogenic fungi produce conspicuous fruitbodies on infected wood, which may represent a habitat for a range of organisms, including invertebrates. The aim was to: (i) assess and compare invertebrate diversity in Heterobasidion spp. fruitbodies, infected Picea abies wood and adjacent soil; (ii) test methods for collecting invertebrates from Heterobasidion spp. fruitbodies. A total of 69 Heterobasidion fruitbody samples, 46 wood samples and 19 soil samples were collected at two forest sites in Latvia. In total, 7311 invertebrate individuals were collected representing 62 different taxa, among which 55 were in fruitbodies, 47 in wood and 36 in soil. The dominant invertebrates in fruitbodies were Acari (82.4%), Collembola (6.2%), Coleoptera (4.7%); in wood were Acari (78.6%), Collembola (9.6%), Diplopoda (3.1%); in soil were Acari (90.6%), Collembola (3.4%) and Coleoptera (1.4%). Among all taxa, 17.7% were found exclusively in fruitbodies, 3.2% in wood, 4.8% in soil, while 48.4% were shared among different substrates. Although many invertebrate taxa were shared, their relative abundance differed substantially among different substrates. The sampling methods used provided valuable information on invertebrate communities. Further development of these methods may be needed to obtain more detailed and specific information about invertebrates inhabiting different habitats.

Summary Urban green areas are becoming increasingly recognized for their biodiversity potential. However, little is known about how urbanization shapes cryptic species communities, such as those residing in deadwood. In this study, we investigated downed Norway spruce trunks at intermediate stages of decay, in urban and semi‐natural forests in southern Finland. To understand the interconnections between landscape context, deadwood characteristics and wood‐inhabiting fungal communities, we studied structural characteristics, surface epiphyte cover and internal moisture and temperature conditions of the tree trunks, and fungal communities residing in the wood. Our findings showed that urban tree trunks had less epiphyte cover and lower moisture than trunks in semi‐natural forests. Overall, urban forests provide less favourable habitats for a majority of the dominant wood‐inhabiting fungal species and for red‐listed species as a group. Yet, 33% of urban trunks hosted at least one red‐listed species. While these landscape‐scale effects may be driven by local climatic conditions as well as contingencies related to available species pools, our results also highlight the significance of substrate‐scale variability of deadwood in shaping wood‐inhabiting fungal communities. We show that epiphyte cover is a significant driver or indicator of these small‐scale dynamic processes in deadwood.
