Dead wood as microhabitat for myxomycetes in selected forest communities in the Polish Carpathian Mts.

Journal Title: Roczniki Bieszczadzkie - Year 2011, Vol 19, Issue 1

Abstract

The myxomycete biota of two forest complexes in the Polish Carpathian Mts. in the vicinity of Wyrchczadeczka in the Beskid Śląski Mts and the Żłobina Couloir in the Pieniny National Park was investigated. The preservation rate and the species composition of the tree stands differ considerably. A spruce monoculture has developed in the managed forest near Wyrchczadeczka while the Żłobina Couloir is covered by Tilio-Carpinetum and Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum. Twenty two species were recorded in both areas, seven species only in Wyrchczadeczka and twenty one species only in the Żłobina Couloir. The range of microhabitats favourable for the development of myxomycetes is greater in the multi-species tree stand in the Żłobina Couloir than in the spruce monoculture in Wyrchczadeczka.
