Wood-decaying fungi in old-growth boreal forest fragments: extinctions and colonizations over 20 years
2021
According to ecology theory, isolated habitat fragments cannot maintain populations of specialized species. Yet, empirical evidence based on monitoring of the same fragments over time is still limited. We studied the colonizationâextinction dynamics of eight wood-decaying fungal species in 16 old-growth forest fragments (<14 ha) over a 20-year period (1997â2017). We observed 19 extinctions and 5 colonizations; yet, the distribution of extinctions and colonizations did not differ from the one expected by chance for any of the species. Twenty-six percent of the extinctions took place in two natural fragments amid large forestâpeatland complexes. (Romell) Bourdot and Galzin decreased …
Updates to Finnish aphyllophoroid funga (Basidiomycota):new species and range extensions
2018
Abstract The knowledge of Finnish aphyllophoroid funga has increased substantially in recent years. In this article we present six species new to Finland: Cristinia (cf.) rhenana Grosse-Brauckm., Hyphodontiella hauerslevii K.H. Larss. & Hjortstam, Leptosporomyces montanus (Jülich) Ginns & M.N.L Lefebvre, Osteina obducta (Berk.) Donk, Sebacina helvelloides (Schwein.) Burt, and Tulasnella brinkmannii sensu lato Bres. The finding of Osteina obducta is the first record in Northern Europe. The article also contributes new records of 56 nationally rare species (maximum ten previous records in Finland). Additionally, we list 110 regionally new species, found for the first time from a certa…
Kääväkkäiden kannanvaihtelu pirstoutuneissa vanhoissa metsissä
2019
Luonnon monimuotoisuus on tärkeää ekosysteemien ja ekosysteemipalveluiden säilymiselle, mutta maankäyttö uhkaa monien lajien selviämistä. Yksi suurimmista uhista monimuotoisuudelle on elinympäristöjen pirstoutuminen. Kääväkkäät ovat tärkeitä boreaalisten metsien puuaineksen hajottajia, mutta niiden kannanvaihteluista pirstoutuneessa metsämaisemassa tiedetään vähän. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää kääväkkäiden kannanvaihteluita eristyneillä kuusivaltaisilla vanhan metsän laikuilla. Tutkimuksessa tarkastelin sekä metsälaikkujen että maisematason ominaisuuksien vaikutusta kääväkkäisiin. Keräsin aineiston Kuhmosta 16 metsälaikulta, joilla oli tehty kääväkäskartoitus vuonna 1997. Tutk…
Polypore communities in broadleaved boreal forests
2012
The cover and extent of boreal broadleaved forests have been decreasing due to modern forest management practices and fire suppression. As decomposers of woody material, polypores are ecologically important ecosystem engineers. The ecology and conservation biology of polypores have been studied intensively in boreal coniferous forests. However, only a few studies have focused on the species living on broadleaved trees. To increase knowledge on this species group we conducted polypore surveys in 27 broadleaved forests and 303 forest compartments (539 ha) on the southern boreal zone in Finland and measured dead wood and forest characteristics. We detected altogether 98 polypore species, of wh…

Species richness of polypores can be increased by supplementing dead wood resource into a boreal forest landscape
2019
1. To prevent local species extinction and to counteract population declines, we must ensure species have access to resources they require for life. This can be done through ecological restoration where previously depleted resources are reintroduced. If the restoration is conducted as a one-off action in a large area, it resembles a natural resource pulse, which should lead to increased abundance of individuals, accompanied possibly by increased species richness. Species–energy relationship and underlying theory enable predictions about how different features of resource pulses affect species richness. 2. We conducted a large-scale, controlled, randomized and replicated field experiment to …
