“…In conclusion, as noted for beech and other forest tree species (Menkis et al 2005;Iwański et al 2006;Rudawska et al 2006;Leski et al 2008Leski et al , 2010Timonen and Kauppinen 2008), ECM fungal communities in forest bare-root nurseries are fairly diverse and the level of colonization of seedlings is very high. We therefore agree with the opinion of Southworth et al (2009) that artificial inoculation in general is not necessary in nursery practice.…”

“…We discovered 27 taxa of ECM fungi on 2-year-old beech seedlings from four bare-root nurseries. The number of recognized taxa was richer than for conifers (Scots pine, Norway spruce, and European larch) and small-leaved lime (Menkis et al 2005;Iwański et al 2006;Rudawska et al 2006;Leski et al 2008;Timonen and Kauppinen 2008), but comparable with pedunculate and sessile oak (Leski et al 2010) grown in nursery conditions. Taxa richness in individual nurseries ranged from 6 to 13, and is a characteristic feature of each nursery rather than a methodological bias causing underestimation.…”

“…Our findings add to the evidence of a growing number of symbionts being able to colonize seedlings in nursery conditions, and emphasize the elucidation potential of molecular tools for detailed descriptions of ECM communities in different environments. Some of the identified fungi (Cenococcum, Tuber, Hebeloma, Laccaria) have been previously noted in forest nurseries as ECM symbionts of coniferous (Menkis et al 2005;Rudawska et al 2006;Leski et al 2008;Menkis and Vasaitis 2011) or deciduous hosts (Leski et al 2010), but some of them have been found for the first time in nursery conditions (Hydnotrya, Hymenogaster, Lactarius), or even as mycorrhizal partners of European beech (Naucoria, Geopora). For more details about the detected ECM fungi, see Online Resource 3.…”

“…Morphological typing of the ECM root tips was examined under a stereomicroscope at 10 to 60 times magnification. ECMs were separated into morphotypes based on macroscopic features (color of a mantle, type of ramification, and the presence of extramatrical hyphae, rhizomorphs, and cystidia) and referred to a database used in our Laboratory of Mycorrhizal Research, at the Institute of Dendrology (Iwański et al 2006;Rudawska et al 2006). The root system fragments with the same mycorrhizal morphotypes were placed in Eppendorf tubes in a cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide buffer and kept at room temperature until processing for DNA isolation and amplification.…”

• Context An important feature of forest nursery management is the production of first-rate planting stock, which is closely connected with an adequate development of ectomycorrhizas on seedling roots. • Aims The aim of this study was to provide a detailed assessment of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal diversity of European beech grown in bare-root forest nursery conditions. • Methods Morphological and molecular analyzes were used to identify ECM fungi, quantify fungal richness, and record differences in the relative abundance of individual taxa. • Results Twenty-seven different mycorrhizal fungal taxa were found in four tested nurseries. Of these 27, only 6 were present in more than one nursery. Taxa richness in individual nurseries ranged from 6 to 13, indicating that ECM colonization potential is nursery-dependent. The most frequent taxa were: Tuber sp. 1, Cadophora sp., Cenococcum geophilum agg., Hebeloma sacchariolens, and Laccaria tortilis. According to the analysis of similarity, ECM fungal communities were significantly different between nurseries (R = 0.7741; p < 0.0001). • Conclusion Beech seedlings grown in bare-root nurseries are colonized by a highly diverse suite of ECM fungi; thus, artificial inoculation of seedlings is generally not necessary in nursery practice.

Wp³yw nawo¿enia organicznego i oeció³kowania na wzrost modrzewia europejskiego (Larix decidua L.) oraz aktywnooeae biologiczn¹ glebEffect of organic fertilization and mulching on the growth of European larch (Larix decidua L.) and biological activity of soils Abstract. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of organic fertilization and mulching with ectohumus on the growth of two-year old European larch seedlings (Larix decidua L.) and biological properties of soils in forest nursery under conditions of micro-sprinkler irrigation. The experiments were carried out on the rusty soil in forest nursery Bia³e B³ota (Forest District Bydgoszcz). The use of organic fertilization with treated sewage sludge with the bark or sawdust additives, did not differ significantly the growth parameters of seedlings. Mulching with the caphumus from the fresh coniferous forest significantly increased the height and the fresh mass of above-ground parts of two-year old European larch seedlings. The use of sewage sludge with the bark or sawdust additives did not effect negatively on the state of mycorrhizal structure in the juvenile phase of seedlings. The treatment of mulching influenced positively on the biological condition of nursery soils -the dimension of saprophage oribatid mites was characterized by the manifold increase.
