Normally, infection by Heterobasidion annosum does not affect the fine roots of Norway spruce. Thus, mycorrhizas may be found with rot-affected conifers. The objective of the given study was to compare the morphological indices and mycorrhization of fine roots for rot-infected and healthy Norway spruce trees. The root samples were collected on 14 plots. In 6 of the plots H. annsoum was established. The plots were either on mineral soils or peaty soils. The major morphological indices of fine roots (such as root length, volume, number of root tips) were found to be substantially higher (􀁄=0,05) for the plots with only healthy Norway spruce trees. Twisted, irregularly thickened mycorrhizas of bunch-like distribution were dominant for the plots with H. annosum infected Norway spruce trees.

Ecosystems commonly fall under the rubric of complex systems (West and Brown 2004). Nevertheless, in the practical management of certain ecosystems, we encounter simple heuristic rules of human interference that are often derived from cultural traditions rather than from scientific study. The increased technical power of computer-based simulation tools and their increased mathematical formalization may either remove former technical limits (e.g., of prediction) or, in contrast, reveal the fundamental character of some of these limits. Here, we shall argue that both cases occur, and that the main effect of simulation technology is to bring the distinction between these cases into scientific awareness.

Fungi of roots of declining pine and spruce seedlings were assessed by pure culture isolations and direct sequencing. The isolation from 1440 roots of 480 seedlings (240 per each tree species) yielded 1110 isolates which, based on mycelial morphology and ITS rDNA sequences, were found to represent 87 distinct taxa.

Resins and oils can easily evaporate during drying processes at high temperatures. The aim of this research was to investigate different drying methods such as oven-drying, vacuumdrying and freeze-drying of resin modified pine-sapwood samples to determine wood moisture content (MC) and weight percent gain (WPG). The results showed that freeze-drying is the slowest process. Vacuum drying of water impregnated samples takes approx. 7 times longer compared to oven-drying. The initial moisture content of wood before impregnation used in this research has only little influence on the WPG.

At least 60–80 Phytophthora species has been described and most of them are soil-borne pathogens causing damping off, root rot, collar and stem rot and foliar blight on different woody plant species. These microbes are sometimes difficult to isolate and even more difficult to identify. A general review of isolation, detection and some newly identified species, including Phytophthora alni complex and P. ramorum, is presented in this article.
