20.500.12556/DiRROS-21409 High spatial but low temporal variability in ectomycorrhizal community composition in Abies alba forest stands The ectomycorrhizal symbionts of silver fir have rarely been analyzed and identified, so little is known about their diversity and distribution. The aim of this study was (1) to analyze the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal species in three geographically distinct forest stands of Abies alba and (2) to demonstrate the high temporal variability of the ectomycorrhizal community over two consecutive growing seasons using repeated monthly sampling. Root samples were taken every month during two growing seasons in three silver fir-dominated forest stands. The ectomycorrhizal root tips were first assigned to a morphotype based on morphological characteristics and then identified by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer region. Alpha and beta diversity differed significantly between all three study sites, with the most diverse and even ectomycorrhizal community described in plot Jelovški boršt. The diversity indices over the growing season were different at two of the three study sites, supporting the idea of a fluctuation of ectomycorrhizal taxa during the growing seasons of the two consecutive years. While significant temporal variability was only confirmed for certain ectomycorrhizal taxa, there were no significant changes in the ectomycorrhizal community in general. Thus, we confirmed the high spatial but low temporal variability of the ectomycorrhizal community associated with silver fir. ectomycorrhizal community spatiotemporal variation silver fir fungal diversity forest root-associated fungi ektomikoriza prostorsko-časovne variacije srebrna jelka glive gozdovi koreninski sistemi true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-01-31 12:34:14 2025-01-31 12:34:14 2025-03-24 10:28:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 31. 1. 2025; str. 1-14 iss. 2 [article no. 308] Vol. 13 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 630*18 2076-2607 10.3390/microorganisms13020308 224715779 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/13/2/308 1 50054280-dfc7-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30510 RAZ_Unuk_Nahberger_Tina_2025.pdf RAZ_Unuk_Nahberger_Tina_2025.pdf 1 50347338B6DAADC7724132812B060493 d10fb19e10c7651c8db4dd6cd14a6825bb9056cc841b554d80027cc885474b42 628a353b-dfc7-11ef-ba3f-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30511 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
