Fungal metabarcoding - Vallombrosa
We coupled metabarcoding and soil analyses to infer the dynamics of afungal community inhabiting the old silver fir stand in Vallombrosa (Italy), which is known to beafflicted by both Armillaria and Annosum root rot. The forest was affected in 2015, by a windstormwhich caused a partial falling and uprooting of trees. The remaining stand, not affected by thewindstorm, was used as a comparison to infer the causes and consequences of the ecosystemdisturbance.
