Abstract:Root and butt rot caused by pathogenic fungi in the genera Heterobasidion and Armillaria is a pressing issue in managed Norway spruce forests. The disease results in financial losses for the forest owners and reduces the volume of wood that can be used in long‐lived products. Pathogenic wood decay fungi spread either with the aid of airborne spores or via mycelial growth among neighbouring trees, the latter leading to clustering (tendency of decayed trees to be in close proximity relative to their neighbouring… Show more
