Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of thinning on ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in a forest. Ectomycorrhizal root tips were collected from forest soils in thinning and non-thinning sites and identified using morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of ITS rDNA sequences. As a result, species richness of ectomycorrhizal fungi was significantly increased and ectomycorrhizal fungal community composition was changed by thinning. These results suggest that forest management such as thinning, could be an important factor affecting mutualistic relationships and belowground microorganisms in forest ecosystems.
