 Microbial-driven processes supporting forest ecosystems.

Researchers are studying below-ground, microbial-driven processes that support forest ecosystems, and how they are influenced by natural and human-caused disturbances.

Results of Studies:

  • Continuing clarifications of the taxonomy of certain root and stem rot fungi (Phellinus/Inonotus) and important ectomycorrhizal fungi (Piloderma) are helping resource specialists understand the opportunities and limitations imposed by these important ecosystem components in western forests.
