Diversity and productivity of hypogeous fungal sporocarps in a variably thinned Douglas-fir forest

Creator:

Colgan, Wesley, Carey, Andrew B., Trappe, James M., Molina, Randy, and Thysell, David

Abstract:

Although ecosystem management techniques are designed to enhance species diversity in managed forests, no comprehensive study has been conducted to evaluate effects of such techniques on diversity and productivity of hypogeous fungi (truffles). During this study, truffles were collected in a 55- to 65-year-old Douglas-fir forest from March 1993 through...

Diversity, productivity, and mycophagy of hypogeous mycorrhizal fungi in a variably thinned Douglas-fir forest

Creator:

Colgan, Wesley

Abstract:

Hypogeous fungi are a critical component of forest ecosystems world wide. In Pacific Northwest forests, they are the base of the food chain of the threatened Northern Spotted Owl. As part of The Forest Ecosystem Study (a interdisciplinary study designed to increase development of suitable spotted owl habitat), diversity and...
