Termite sensitivity to temperature affects global wood decay rates

Science, 2022
Deadwood is a large global carbon store with its store size partially determined by biotic decay. Microbial wood decay rates are known to respond to changing temperature and precipitation.

Decay stages of wood and associated fungal communities characterise diversity–decomposition relationships

Scientific Reports, 2021
The biodiversity–ecosystem function relationship is a central topic in ecology. Fungi are the dominant decomposers of organic plant material in terrestrial ecosystems and display tremendous species diversity.

Evolution of novel wood decay mechanisms in Agaricales revealed by the genome sequences of Fistulina hepatica and Cylindrobasidium torrendii [PDF]

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2015
Wood decay mechanisms in Agaricomycotina have been traditionally separated in two categories termed white and brown rot. Recently the accuracy of such a dichotomy has been questioned.

Role of Leaf Litter in Above-Ground Wood Decay [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
The effects of leaf litter on moisture content and fungal decay development in above-ground wood specimens were assessed. Untreated southern pine specimens were exposed with or without leaf litter contact.

Comparative genomics reveals unique wood-decay strategies and fruiting body development in the Schizophyllaceae.

New Phytologist, 2019
Agaricomycetes are fruiting body forming fungi that produce some of the most efficient enzyme systems to degrade wood. Despite decades-long interest in their biology, the evolution and functional diversity of both wood-decay and fruiting body formation ...

Wood decay fungi: an analysis of worldwide research

Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2022
Wood decay fungi are the only forms of life capable of degrading wood to its initial constituents, greatly contributing to the soil ecosystem. This study summarizes the current research status and development characteristics of global wood decay fungi ...

Modelling in-ground wood decay using time-series retrievals from the 5th European climate reanalysis (ERA5-Land)

European Journal of Remote Sensing, 2023
This article presents models to predict the time until mechanical failure of in-ground wooden test specimens resulting from fungal decay. Historical records of decay ratings were modelled by remotely sensed data from ERA5-Land.

Carbon and nitrogen status by decay class in fallen dead wood of three pine species in southern Korea

Forest Science and Technology, 2023
The importance of a quantitative assessment of C and N contents of dead wood is increasing in forest ecosystems. This study aimed to determine the density and carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) status of dead wood with decay class for three pine species (Pinus ...
