Do Invertebrate Activity and Current Velocity Affect Fungal Assemblage Structur...
Description
In this study we assessed the effect of current velocity and shredder presence, manipulated in artificial channels, on the structure of the fungal assemblage colonizing alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertner) leaves incubated in coarse and fine mesh bags. Fungal sporulation rates, cumulative conidial production and number of species of aquatic hyphomycetes were higher in leaves exposed to high rather than to low current velocity. The opposite was observed regarding Simpson's index (D) on the fungal assemblage. Some species of aquatic hyphomycetes were consistently stimulated in high current channels. No effect of shredders or of mesh type was observed. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/iroh.200510833
