The factors and scales shaping fungal assemblages in fallen spruce trunks: A DNA metabarcoding study

Understanding the distribution of biodiversity across forest landscapes is a key issue for the spatial planning of conservation management. Obtaining such spatial perspective is challenging because a large part of biodiversity remains hidden to the conventional survey approaches. High-productivity forests are probably the hotspots of hidden biodiversity and, at the same time, under severe timber harvesting pressure. We used DNA-metabarcoding...
