Linkages of plant phenological characteristics with belowground root-associated fungal communities have rarely been investigated, and thus our aim was to search for an interplay between contrasting phenology of host ectomycorrhizal trees from the same location and root-associated fungal communities (ectomycorrhizal, endophytic, saprotrophic and pathogenic rootassociated fungi) in young and in adult silver fir trees. The study was performed in a managed silver fir forest site. Twenty-four soil samples collected under two phenologically contrasting silver fir groups were analyzed for differences in rootassociated fungal communities using Illumina sequencing of a total root-associated fungal community. Significant differences in beta diversity and in mean alpha diversity were confirmed for overall community of ectomycorrhizal root-associated fungi, whereas for ecologically different non-ectomycorrhizal root-associated fungal communities the differences were significant only for beta diversity and not for mean alpha diversity. At genus level root-associated fungal communities differed significantly between early and late flushing young and adult silver fir trees. We discuss the interactions through which the phenology of host plants either drives or is driven by the root-associated fungal communities in conditions of a sustainably co-naturally managed silver fir forest. host phenology stand age root-associated fungi silver fir fungal community fenologija starost dreves glive korenine true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2020-02-20 12:17:30 2020-02-20 12:17:30 2023-02-23 03:37:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 Nasl. iz nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 6. 3. 2019; 11 str. article 214 Vol. 10 2019 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2019-01-01 630*18(045)=111 1664-462X 10.3389/fpls.2019.00214 5324966 3011663 RAZ_Unuk_Tina_i2019.docx RAZ_Unuk_Tina_i2019.docx 1 AD7D352ECD55F9575CA33C5934EB95D9 6711ee77acd568064aba7a5b868eb4f50e101a543d680b4b1480f8034a6711ca f30fe7ab-17b5-11ed-b6b8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=13338 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2019.00214/full 0 9831ca19-b281-11ed-b359-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=21719 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
