Nitrogen fixation rates, as estimated by the acetylene reduction technique, were determined in conifer wood litter being decayed by brown-and white-rot fungi. Average ethylene production rates were ...

Can this rotten piece of wood be saved? That’s the challenge. Using woodturning techniques and patience, I reveal the striking patterns hidden beneath layers of rot and damage. This is spalted wood at ...

We investigated the interaction between fungal communities of soil and dead wood substrates. For this, we applied molecular species identification and stable isotope tracking to both soil and decaying ...
