The ectomycorrhizal community of conifer stands on peat soils 12 years after fertilization with wood ash

Abstract: We studied long-term effects of fertilization with wood ash on biomass, vitality and mycorrhizal colonization of fine roots in three conifer forest stands growing in Vacciniosa turf. mel. (V), Myrtillosa turf. mel. (M) and Myrtillosa turf. mel./Caricoso-phragmitosa (MC) forest types on peat soils. Fertilization trials amounting 5 kg/m(2) of wood ash were established 12 years prior to this study. A total of 63 soil samples with roots were collected and analysed. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in roots were identif… Show more

“…The differences in fungal species abundance between both types of fertilized sites and control are consistent with previous studies that showed species-specific changes in the ECM fungal community composition after forest liming (Jonsson et al 1999;Kjøller, Clemmensen 2009). Our data indicated a strong effect of wood ash application on the ECM species abundance, which is in accordance with previous studies (Klavina et al 2015b). This study, however, demonstrates that even low amounts of wood ash may have an effect on the ECM species composition and that this effect can occur soon after fertilization.…”

“…in sites fertilized with wood ash corroborates results of other studies (Mahmood et al 2001;Mahmood 2003). Lower abundance of the ECM morphotype represented by Tylospora asterophora in sites treated with wood ash was observed in our previous studies (Klavina et al 2015b). Although the importance of ectomycorrhizas has been widely acknowledged, the factors determining ECM com- In conclusion, our data indicate that forest fertilization has specific effects on morphological parameters of fine roots, ECM fungal community composition and abundance of soil bacteria in P. abies stands on drained peat soils.…”
