No difference in ectomycorrhizal morphotype composition between abandoned and inhabited nests of wood ants (Formica polyctena) in a central European spruce forest

Original language description

In temperate forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi substantially support coniferous trees by nutrients, but importance of EcM for tree nutrition might be lower in nutrient-rich hotspots, such as in wood ant nests. In this study, we focused on differences in EcM morphotype composition between natural nutrient-rich hot spots of various quality (inhabited vs. abandoned wood ant nests) and the surrounding forest floor. In a secondary Norway spruce forest typical for central Europe, we took samples from different belowground parts of five inhabited and five abandoned nests (centre and rim) as well as from the forest floor 20 cm from the nests (run-off zone) and &gt; 3 m from the nests (forest soil). The substrates were subjected to analyses of the EcM morphotype composition, moisture and nutrient contents. Wood ant nest substrates had several times increased nutrient contents compared to the forest soil, but there were no significant differences in moisture. Available nutrient contents were higher in inhabited nests than in abandoned nests. The EcM morphotype composition differed between the nest samples and the forest floor samples but not between the inhabited and abandoned nests suggesting that, apart from the level of nutrient enrichment and their availability, moisture is another important factor affecting EcM community composition.
