Wood-inhabiting fungal responses to forest naturalness vary among morpho-groups

Abstract The general negative impact of forestry on wood-inhabiting fungal diversity is well recognized, yet the effect of forest naturalness is poorly disentangled among different fungal groups inhabiting dead wood of different tree species. We studied the relationship between forest naturalness, l...
