Abstract |
We surveyed macrofungi biweekly at defined plots from April
to December in 2014, in the Mongolian oak-dominant forest,
Gwangneung Forest, Pochen-si, Korea, and analyzed a soilhigher
fungal diversity during four seasons (represented by
April, August, October, and December). Based on morphological
observation of collected specimens, the collected macrofungi
were classified into 2 phyla 3 classes 7 orders, 14 families,
21 genera, and 33 species (36 specimens). DNA-based
community analyses indicated that soil-higher fungi were
classified into 2 phyla, 18 classes, 49 orders, 101 families, and
155 genera (83,360 sequence reads), defined herein as 155
genus-level operational taxonomic units (GOTUs). In the
present study, we evaluated and discussed the fungal diversity
in seasonal dynamics and soil layers based on collected
macrofungi and pyrosequencing data while considering environmental
parameters (pH, exchangeable K, T-P, NH4+, NO3-, OM, WR, TOC, and T-N). Moreover, principal components analysis (PCA) showed distinct clusters of the GOTU assemblage associated with the seasons. |
