Novel high‐throughput sequencing methods outperform earlier approaches in terms of
resolution and magnitude. They enable identification and relative quantification of community …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are typically examined for taxonomic affiliation through sequence
similarity searches involving the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear …

… Possibilities for the inclusion of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP)
libraries will be considered in future. Microarray technology is another emerging tool, and …

… burning, since the logging residues from an adjacent clear-cut area were transported to the
plots (3000 kg per plot; equal to 19 t dry matter ha-‘) and burned in May 1990. All the trees on …

The effects of long-term heavy metal deposition on microbial community structure and the
level of bacterial community tolerance were studied along two different gradients in …

The structure, biomass, and activity of the microbial community in the humus layer of boreal
coniferous forest stands of different fertility were studied. The Scots pine dominated CT (…

While high-throughput sequencing methods are revolutionizing fungal ecology, recovering
accurate estimates of species richness and abundance has proven elusive. We sought to …

Decaying wood plays an important role in forest biodiversity, nutrient cycling and carbon
balance. Community structure of wood-inhabiting fungi changes with mass loss of wood, but the …

We studied microbial community composition in a primary successional chronosequence
on the forefront of Lyman Glacier, Washington, United States. We sampled microbial …

… Branched fatty acids have previously been found to increase as a result of simulated acid
rain leading to a decrease in soil pH (Pennanen et al. 1998), which is in accordance with the …
