Aphyllophoraceous fungi in coniferous stands of the Kotavaara site in North Karelian Biosphere Reserve as indicators of their state
// Biodiversity of Fennoscandia (diversity, human impact, nature conservation). Petrozavodsk: Karelian Research Centre of RAS, 1997. P. 10
Kotavaara forest site includes pine stands with spruce and some deciduous trees at the second level. The soil is covered with Vaccinium myrtillus, partly V. vitis-idaea and mosses. The forest zone is surrounded by cutted area. The study of the whole territory was begun in 1995. In 1997 wood-inhabiting fungi on 15 sample plots inside the forest ( NN 5-7, 9, 12-14, 19-22, 24, 25) and on clearings (N 17, 23) were studied. In total 108 species belonging to 66 genera, 14 families were determined, among which 93 species were found in 1995-1996 on the whole territory, and 80 species were registered on sample plots in 1997. The total of 65 species were common for the plots and the other territory, 15 species were found only on plots, 28 species - only out of these ones. The greatest families are Corticiaceae (38 species, 25 genera), Poriaceae (35 species, 22 genera), Hymenochaetaceae (16 species, 4 genera). Another families include 1-3 species. Numerical diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi on sample plots varies inside the forest from 7 to 24 species, the most common species number is 16. At the old clearing there were found only 5 species, at the new one 11 species, because some forest fungi were still not eliminated. The greatest species number was observed on the plot N 25 (24 species). In total that part of the forest was more rich with wood-inhabiting fungi. It may be explained by the fact that these plots are located in the more wide part of the forest tract, were the core is surrounded by more wide buffer zone. It is seen indeed that practically all indicatory species are concentrated at that part: Antrodia albobrunnea (plot N 6), Gelatoporia pannocincta (plot N 25), Lentaria albovinacea (plots N 5, 7, 9, 14, 22), Sistotrema raduloides (plot N 6), Skeletocutis lenis, S. odora (plot N 24). Some other indicatory species were found in the area before study on sample plots: Amylocystis lapponica, Antrodia albobrunnea, Diplomitoporus crustulinus, Gelatoporia pannocincta, Junghuhnia collabens, Postia hibernica, Sistotrema raduloides, Skeletocutis lenis, S. odora, Trichaptum pargamenum. Preliminary results show the importance of conserving more great territories with the natural forest for keeping full biological diversity of the ecosystem.
