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.
