Naturalness is key: high species richness of wood-inhabiting fungi does not automatically mean high species quality

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Diversity of wood-inhabiting macrofungi on large decaying trunks of Norway spruce and Silver fir was monitored in Zámecký les near-natural forest in Czechia. The aim was to statistically evaluate the fungal species richness and composition in relation to environmental/trunk parameters and to compare it with data on forest naturalness taken from historical documents. The results were compared with data obtained by the same methods in Boubínský prales virgin forest and literature data from Mittelsteighütte natural forest. Surprisingly, trunks in the near-natural forest were species-richer than in the virgin one, showing that the available ecological niche, here a fallen trunk, can be occupied by a rich set of fungi regardless of human impact. However, species composition differed considerably among the sites, especially by the presence of rare, red-listed and old-growth forests.fungi, designated as species of special interest (SSI). They were least represented in the near-natural forest, more in the natural forest, and most in the virgin forest. This correlation shows that the independent concepts of both SSI species and classification of forest naturalness go well together. Even seemingly small interventions in the past like selective cutting have a big impact on fungal communities. The most sensitive fungi like Amylocystis lapponica, Fomitopsis rosea or Phellinus ferrugineofuscus require unbroken forest continuity. They are absent from affected sites although their refugia as potential sources of propagules exist nearby. Our data document that only spruces and firs 500-600 years old indicate true forest continuity. Linking fungal occurrence data, environmental variables and historical documents on human interventions is crucial both for understanding ecosystemprocesses and conservation management.
