“…On 2-year-old A. alba seedlings, this morphotype was observed; however, was not as frequent (data not published). Boletus pruinatus was previously documented as fungal component of ECM on silver-fir (Cremer et al 2009;Schirkonyer et al (2013);Ważny 2014) and European larch symbiont (Leski and Rudawska 2012), but it was not revealed as a dominant species. On the other hand, C. geophilum is a common, dominating fungal component of the ectomycorrhizas of many tree species (Aučina et al 2011;Teste et al 2009), silver-fir including (Cremer et al 2009;Ważny 2014).…”

the F stands was significantly higher (46) than that in the L forecrops (25), and 34% of taxa were common to both stands. The dominant ECM species in F were unidentified fungus 1, Piloderma sp., Tylospora asterophora and Russula integra. Fir seedlings regenerating in L forecrops formed ectomycorrhizas mostly with unidentified fungus 1, Tomentella sublilacina, Tylospora sp., Hydnotrya bailii and T. asterophora. Based on ANOSIM analysis, ECM communities have shown significant differences between study sites. The diversity of ECM fungal partners and the high colonization rate of silver-fir seedlings regenerating in larch forecrop stands should be sufficient to provide efficient afforestation of post-arable lands and gives the opportunity for their successful rebuilding.

“…The number of ectomycorrhizal anatomorphotypes we found at Kopaonik (13) and Tara (12) is comparable to their results. Similarly, in a pure spruce stand on the Taunus mountains in Central Germany, Schirkonyer et al (2013) recorded 16 mycorrhizal genera and species. On the other hand, sites Kopaonik and Tara differed in forest stand characteristics, namely the spruce forest on Kopaonik was nearly monospecific, while spruce at the Tara site was mixed with Fagus sylvatica and Abies alba.…”

Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.) reaches its southernmost limit in the mountainous regions of south Serbia and Bulgaria. The species is a regionally important timber species for the wood industry and a significant host for various ectomycorrhizal fungi, including edible species. We analysed ectomycorrhizal community and fine root parameters of high continental / subalpine Norway spruce stands at three sites (Stara planina, Kopaonik, Tara) located in protected areas in Serbia. In addition, we assessed the potential effects of altitude and growing season on the ectomycorrhizal diversity and fine root parameters. Using standardised sampling in combination with morpho-anatomical and molecular identification of ectomycorrhizae, we recorded 29 different anatomorphotypes. None of the identified fungi belonged to commercial edible fungal species. Compared to other Norway spruce ectomycorrhiza studies in central Europe, sites in Serbia exhibited lower species diversity and different dominant species composition, with Cenococcum spp. and Russula spp. as the dominant ectomycorrhizal fungi. A number of ectomycorrhizal types and the value of the species richness index differed between Stara planina and Tara in the autumn, but the influence of site and season on the studied diversity indices was not significant. The total number of fine roots increased in the spring, while percentage of vital ectomycorrhizal root tips increased in the autumn. This study was the first examination of Norway spruce ectomycorrhizal communities at the edge of the natural geographical range of the species.

“…In addition, some potential ectomycorrhiza fungi were connected to silver fir based on proximity of sporocarps occurrence (Lagana et al 2000(Lagana et al , 2002. Until now only few studies have been published in which authors had identified ectomycorrhiza on silver fir applying molecular (DNA-based) markers (Eberhardt et al 2000, Cremer 2009, Wazny 2014, Schirkonyer et al 2013, Rudawska et al 2016, Wazny & Kowalski 2017.…”

“…As most European forest tree species, silver fir forms an ectomycorrhiza, a symbiosis with fungi from Ascomycota and Basidiomycota (Schirkonyer et al 2013). Beside the exchange of nutrients and metabolites between symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi and plant host, formation of ectomycorrhizae on tree roots alters root growth (Smith & Read 2008) and protects them against root diseases, which increases the survival rate of silver fir seedlings (Schirkonyer et al 2013).…”

Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) ectomycorrhiza across its areal -a review approachSilver fir is a long-living ecologically valuable and indigenous conifer species. In temperate forests it is considered as a ˝stabilization tree species˝. Currently, knowledge of silver fir ectomycorrhiza community is manly based on morphological-anatomical description of ectomycorrhizal fungi and their fruiting bodies. Only recently few studies were published in which authors identified ectomycorrhizal symbionts of silver fir with an aid of molecular (DNA-based) markers. We analysed the silver fir ectomycorrhiza diversity and species richness from different geographic areas and stand types. From all together nine original studies we calculated average species richness as well as a Bray-Curtis similarity index. The highest species diversity was observed in studies where a combination of morphological-anatomical and molecular approaches were used for identification. Bray-Curtis similarity index indicated highest dissimilarity of the southern sites comparing to other areas. We correlated the observed outcome to differences in soil conditions, climate, and only basic identification approach.Keywords: Silver fir, ectomycorrhiza, literature review, community composition, site conditions, species diversity, species richness IZVLEČEK Ektomikorizni simbionti bele jelke (Abies alba Mill.) na naravnem območju razširjenosti -pregledBela jelka je vednozelena drevesna vrsta, ki ima v naravnih gozdovih ekološko pomembno vlogo, saj velja za stabilizacijsko drevesno vrsto. Podatki o ektomikoriznih simbiontih bele jelke pretežno temeljijo na morfološko-anatomskih opisih ektomikoriznih gliv in njihovih trosnjakov. Šele v zadnjih letih je bilo objavljenih nekaj študij, v katerih so avtorji združbo ektomikoriznih gliv bele jelke analizirali z molekularnimi pristopi. V preglednem članku smo analizirali rezultate pestrosti ektomikorize bele jelke z devet lokacij in preračunali povprečne vrednostmi vrstne pestrosti ter Bray-Curtisov indeks podobnosti združb. Največjo vrstno pestrost smo ugotovili za vzhodni del areala bele jelke. Poleg ugodnih rastiščnih razmer k temu predvidoma doprinesejo tudi kombinacija uporabljenih metod za identifikacijo. Bray-Curtisov indeks podobnosti združb kaže, da med zastopanimi regijami znotraj areala (centralna, vzhodna in južna) po vrstni sestavi najbolj odstopajo rastišča v južnem arealu bele jelke. Odstopanja vrstne sestave lahko povežemo z razlikami v pH tal, s tipom tal in s toplejšo, za belo jelko manj primerno klimo.Ključne besede: bela jelka, ekomikoriza, pregledni članek, združba ektomikorize na jelki, rastišči pogoji, bogastvo vrst, vrstna pestrost
