“…Vegetation type, reflecting local moisture and nutrient conditions, has been shown to have influence on the species composition of wood-inhabiting fungi (Eriksson & Strid 1969;Eriksson & Ryvarden 1973-1975Ryvarden 1976Ryvarden -1978Eriksson et al 1978Eriksson et al -1984Vries & Kuyper 1988;Hjortstam et al 1988). This variable was not much correlated with the species distribution in our study.…”

A survey of the patterns of lignicolous fungi to record occurrence of fruitbodies on fallen logs of Picea abies. has been performed. Ninetythree forest stands with different ages. ecology, and histories of management in Ser-Trendelag County, Central Norway were investigated. In each stand an investigation plot of 40 m diameter was established, in which five logs were randomly selected. Environmental variables of the logs and plots and geographical positions of the plots were recorded. The numerical methods used include detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA).A total of 140 species of Aphyllophorales, Agaricales with eccentrically attached caps, heterobasiodomycetes, and prominent ascomycetes and deuteromycetes were registered. More than one third of the species were only found once. The main gradient in the data set was shown to be related to decay. The second gradient was related to size of the logs and some forest management variables (in addition to decay). Of the variation in composition of the species, 13.8 % can be ascribed to solely environmental variance, 6 % to solely spatial structure, and only 0.8 % to the combination of the environment and spatial component of variation. The results are discussed in the light of wood decay, forest management, and landscape fragmentation.

“…Of the studies presented to experts only two were given more than 15% of the points to be attributed (Harmon et al 2000, Krankina andHarmon 1994;Fig. 4) and an additional four were given more than 5% each of the points to be attributed (Alban and Pastor 1993;De Vries and Kuyper 1988;Erickson et al 1985;Ganjegunte et al 2004). No national expert changed estimates after examining the CWDGDB but half of the international experts did.…”

“…Although there are ongoing assessments of changes in carbon stores in European forests, only a small number of CWD DRC have been published for European tree species (Christensen 1977;De Vries and Kuyper 1988;Fahey et al 1991;Harmon et al 2000;Kahl 2003;Krankina and Harmon 1994;Kruys et al 2002;Naesset 1999;Swift et al 1976;Tarasov and Birdsey 2001). They mostly come from boreal regions, and information on Mediterranean conditions is entirely lacking in the international literature.…”

Estimating decomposition rate constants for European tree species from literature sources

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important substrate in forests, provides habitat for a multitude of organisms and is also a sink and a source for nutrients and carbon. To assess the dynamics of this substrate equations to describe the course of decomposition have been developed. They can also be used to describe the release of carbon from dead wood into the atmosphere. Unfortunately few equations have been parameterised for European conditions, although there is a need to estimate the dynamics of CWD in this region. Therefore, a method (termed the LB-method) was invented to estimate suitable decomposition rate constants (DRC) from sources published in the CWD Global Database by systematically comparing features and conditions of the area and species of interest with the information given with the published equations. The DRC were weighed according to these comparisons and then sorted by the weight assigned to them. From the resulting distribution a plausible DRC for the region and species of interest was estimated. The LB-method was compared to results from a study on Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) decomposition in Thuringia, Germany, and to results from an expert elicitation on DRC for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in the Federal State of Brandenburg, Germany. In both cases the method gave results within the conWdence interval of the respective study used for comparison. Both methods are suitable for the estimation of preliminary DRC until more accurate constants can be derived by research. While the focus in this study was on density loss the method can be applied to other dead wood features (e.g. volume), and should be applicable to other regions of the world where information is also scarce.

Bryophytes colonize different substrates, while fungi, such as basidiomycetes, can occur on the same substrate as these plants and sometimes associate with them. In Brazil, there are few studies with bryofilated Agarycomycetes and they rarely identify the mosses or the liverworts involved in this association. Taxonomic studies involving bryophyte fungi and the bryophytes involved could demonstrate the ecological relationship and help in the conservation efforts of these groups. This study aimed to investigate the biodiversity and associations of Agaricales (Fungi, Agaricomycetes) and bryophytes in a portion of the Atlantic Forest biome in the state of Rio Grande Sul, southern Brazil. The São Francisco de Paula National Forest (FLONA - SFP) is a preserved high and humid environment and was selected to carry out the collections. Our study described for the first time the true association with microscopic evidence between Gerronema stuckertii and Campylopus pilifer, Galerina stylifera, Campylopus julicaulis and Chlorella sp., Oudemansiella platensis and Metzgeria consanguinea, Psathyrella murrilli and Brachythecium sp. With regard to biological diversity in Brazil, this study improves the understanding of associations between mosses and fungi.
