Overview

Experimentally altering canopy cover and deadwood to assess impacts on biodiversity and wood degradation.

Key Points

  • Fungal alpha diversity is influenced more by host tree species than by canopy cover or deadwood enrichment.
  • Mass loss of beech wood was significantly affected by tree removal and crown presence, unlike pine wood.
  • Canopy cover increased fungal diversity of beech, while pine diversity improved with deadwood enrichment.
  • Management strategies must consider species-specific effects to sustain fungal diversity and ecosystem processes.
