abstract = {The aluminium smelter in Žiar nad Hronom has operated since 1953. As a result, the surrounding area is now one of the most polluted regions in Slovakia. Since the implementation of new production and filtration technologies in 1996, the amount of emissions has significantly decreased. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term restoration of an environment that has been damaged by fluorine-based air pollutants. We analysed the contamination of forest ecosystems in three beech stands at various distances from the emission source (2, 7, and 18 km). Signs of restoration in adult beech trees were observed through a decrease in defoliation and a reduction in the necrotic disease of the bark in tree crowns. However, the impacts of air pollution on ectomycorrhizal associations persist. In the reduced number of ectomycorrhizal fungal species (16 species in the polluted stand compared to 38 species in the control stand), the low representation of sensitive fungal orders (Cantharellales, Gomphales, and Boletales), and the indices of species richness and heterogeneity (Hill, Margalef, Simpson, and Shannon–Weaver). In some respects, the findings indicate that the beech ecosystem is capable of revitalization within 25 years after a reduction in air pollution. However, much more sensitive indicators of successful restoration, compared to the characteristics of the trees, are the communities of macromycetes.},

abstract = {Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) are very important in fundamental forest ecosystems. They play a very important role in the succession process, e.g., afforestation of former agricultural areas. Species richness and relative abundance of ECM macromycetes fruiting bodies were determined in spruce monocultures of different ages. Fifty-one ECM species were found; the most dominant were Ramaria formosa, Hygrophorus pustulatus, Lactarius aurantiacus, L. rufus, Paxillus involutus, and others. The highest average abundance was found in a 21-year-old forest stand; the highest number of species was found in a 51-year-old stand. Average monthly temperature (p < 0.001), precipitation (p < 0.01), and soil carbon content (p < 0.05) had the most significant impact on the dynamics of species richness and abundance. The highest values of abundance and species richness were noted in summer 2016 and autumn 2017 and 2018. The highest values of mycorrhizal percentage were recorded in 21-year-old forest stands (41.95%), and the lowest values were recorded in 51-year-old stands (35.86%). Shannon index values (H´) indicate a slightly lower species diversity of ECM fungi in young stands (1.65) compared with older stands (1.71). The values of species richness and fruiting bodies abundance were statistically strongly significant (p < 0.001) during seasonality (month) and through the interaction (month/year). Amanita muscaria, Chalciporus piperatus, Russula aeruginea, and Suillus grevillei were found as indication species in the youngest stands. Amanita rubescens, Imleria badia, Inocybe lacera, and Tricholoma equestre were found as indication species in the oldest stands.},

Altogether 24 plots were sampled along four degradation stages during the vegetation seasons 2011–2016: A – poorly developed vegetation on the magnesite crust, B – dense grassland vegetation almost without a tree-layer, C – degraded woodland with opened canopy, and D – visually unaffected original closed-canopy woodland. For each plot we sampled phytocoenological relevés including vascular plants and terrestrial cryptogams (cyanobacteria, lichens and bryophytes), and presence records for epiphytic lichens, epiphytic bryophytes, sporocarps of macromycetes (terrestrial, saprotrophic, parasitic and ectomycorrizal) and sporocarps of slime molds. We also analyzed concentrations of C, Ca, Mg, S, N, P, K in the soil, light conditions, bark pH and the distance from two emission sources (ES). Increased alkaline dust, corresponding to a smaller distance from the emission source correlated with higher concentrations of Mg, Ca, Fe, S, C/N in soil samples. Regressive succession converted oak-hornbeam woodland to degraded woodland with opened canopy, further to ruderal grasslands, then to halophilous procoenoses of Agrostis stolonifera and Puccinellia distans on degraded soils with eroded magnesite crust and biocrusts (formed by cyanobacteria Microcoleus steenstrupii, Nostoc microscopicum and Schizothrix arenaria; bryophytes Desmatodon cernuus, Didymodon tophaceus; pioneer terrestrial lichen Thelidium zwackhii) and finally into habitat with no vegetation. This is the first report on early successional stages with halophilous procoenoses in the Western Carpathians. We also recorded significant differences in species richness and the species pools in all organism groups along the gradient. Overall species diversity decreased. The degradation stages are characterized by low representation of symbiotic macromycetes and by a high proportion of saprotrophic macromycetes. The highest species richness of vascular plants was recorded in degradation stages B and C, the highest herb-layer cover in stage B. The highest species richness of terrestrial bryophytes is also found in dense grassland vegetation in stage B. Occurrence of nitrophilous epiphytic lichens differentiates unaffected oak-hornbeam woodlands from the plots close to the emission source.},

The localities were 1.5 km, 7 km and 18 km from the pollution source: an aluminium plant. A decrease of necrotic disease with the increasing distance from the pollution source was revealed. Necrotization was highest nearest to the pollution source. The significance of the impact of necrotic disease was confirmed for the 2nd and 3rd tree classes. Necrotization was quantified using the indices of stem necrotization (ISN), crown necrotization (ICN) and necrotization of whole tree (IWTN). Over the period 2004 (2007)–2014, the values of ISN, ICN and IWTN decreased at all three localities. Significant positive relationships were found between the necrotization of the crown and stem of the same tree at all localities (Spearman’s correlation analyses R = 0.764; 0.597 and 0.755, P = 0.001; 0.01 and 0.001). Accordingly, the trees suffered from the necrotic damage at all parts in relation to their current health state.},

The research experiment was carried out at two isolated localities in the Western Carpathians in the period 2015–2017. A terminal shoot (stem) and a lateral shoot (branch) of each of the 30 sampled beech trees were examined. Young beech stands were affected by the necrotic disease in 87–94% cases (stems 69–83%, branches 33–56%). Shoot diameter and age had a significantly negative linear correlation (P < 0.05) with the development of all analysed disease characteristics on the beech bark. The encouraging finding is a positive regenerative capacity of young beech trees. Over the same period more annual shoots were healed in comparison with those that were newly infected (10.8% on stems and 0.6% on branches). },

abstract = {The effect of forest management on biodiversity is a crucial issue for sustainable forestry and nature conservation. However, the ways in which management affects macrofungal and plant communities and diversity of mountain temperate forests still remain poorly understood. We performed a random sampling stratified by stand age and stand type on the sites of temperate montane fir–beech forests. Diversity of macrofungi and the vascular plant understorey in beech- and spruce-dominated managed stands was investigated and compared to primeval forests located in the Poľana Biosphere Reserve, Western Carpathians. Both the vascular plant and the macrofungal communities were altered by management, and the response of the macrofungal species (especially wood-inhabiting fungi) was more pronounced in terms of species composition change. Species turnover evaluation seems to be an important tool of forest natural status assessment, because alpha diversity did not change as much as species composition. Certain species of Carpathian primeval forests were confirmed as good indicators for natural forest change; others were proposed. Species pool and mean number of species per plot were the highest in unmanaged fir–beech forests, and species diversity significantly decreased in spruce plantations. The number of species decreased significantly due to the change of canopy tree species composition only in the macrofungal communities. As an outcome for forest management, we recommend keeping mixed forests involving all natural tree species and providing at least a minimal amount of dead wood necessary for wood-inhabiting organisms and leaving some area of unmanaged natural forests within complexes of managed stands.},

abstract = {Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale
decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the controls on the terrestrial carbon transfer to the atmosphere. However, previous studies were mostly based on site-specific litter and methodologies, adding major uncertainty to syntheses, comparisons and metaanalyses across different experiments and sites. In the TeaComposition initiative, the potential litter decomposition is investigated by using standardized substrates (Rooibos and Green tea) for comparison of litter mass loss at 336 sites (ranging from −9 to +26 °C MAT and from 60 to 3113mm MAP) across different ecosystems. In this study we tested the effect of climate (temperature and moisture), litter type and land-use on early stage decomposition (3 months) across nine biomes. We show that litter quality was the predominant controlling factor in early stage litter decomposition, which explained about 65% of the variability in litter decomposition at a global scale. The effect of climate, on the other hand, was not litter specific and explained b0.5% of the variation for Green tea and 5% for Rooibos tea, and was of significance only under unfavorable decomposition conditions (i.e. xeric versus mesic environments).When the data were aggregated at the biome scale, climate played a significant role on decomposition of both litter types (explaining 64% of the variation for Green tea and 72% for Rooibos tea).No significant effect of land-use on early stage litter decompositionwas notedwithin the temperate biome. Our results indicate that multiple drivers are affecting early stage littermass loss with litter quality being dominant. In order to be able to quantify the relative importance of the different drivers over time, long-term studies combined with experimental trials are needed.},

We analyzed the differences in species richness, abundance and composition in two tree canopy cover categories (closed and open canopy).

richness and number of individuals (standardized to 100 pitfall trap days) were caught, and that both species richness and abundance were affected by the season (i.e., time of trap replacement); yet the total number of individuals trapped was more than two times greater under the open canopy than under the closed canopy. Despite the subtle differences in the taxonomic composition of the catches under the open and closed canopies revealed by DCA followed by RDA, the composition of ground dwelling harvestmen assemblages differed under the two canopy covers. The open canopy was more suitable for heliophilic, xerothermic eurytopic harvestmen species typical for open and ecotonal habitats, such as Egaenus convexus (C.L. Koch) and Oligolophus tridens (C.L. Koch) but still suitable for hemihygrophilic Lophopilio palpinalis (Herbst). The closed canopy stands were preferred by shade-tolerant, hygrophilic eurytopic harvestmen species, such as Trogulus sp. Latreille, Dicranolasma scabrum (Herbst) and Platybunus bucephalus (C.L. Koch). Our results highlight the importance of intra habitat heterogeneity of a harvestmen community.},

abstract = {Most parasitoid wasps establish close interactions with their host taxa, and polysphinctines (ichneu-monid koinobiont spider-ectoparasitoids) are no exception. Two polysphinctines, Zatypota picticollis andReclinervellus nielseni, are, respectively, partial and exclusive parasitoids of Cyclosa spp. (Araneidae),which build an orb web with web decoration. The main aim was to investigate the host associationof these wasps, including the behavioural alteration of spider hosts across two sides of the Palaearctic(Central Europe vs. Japan).R. nielseni was associated with relatively common local species of Cyclosa both in Europe (C. conica),sharing these with Z. picticollis, and in Japan (C. argenteoalba). We also found a new alternative host spider,Cyclosa laticauda, in Japan.Host web alterations were observed in all parasitoid-spider interrelationships. The alteration patternsof the two polysphinctines have a similar constructional plan that exploits pre-existing frame linesfor the cocoon webs; however, they differ partially in their radii, which are either straight or zigzagshaped and in hub loops present or absent. This indicates that certain differences in the neurophysio-logic changes in the spider host occur depending on the parasitoids. The fluffy decoration induced in C.argenteoalba manipulated by R. nielseni was not found in C. conica or C. laticauda, probably because of itsnon-innateness.The cocoons of R. nielseni had four conspicuous long ribs making the cocoon quadrate in cross-section regardless of the host spider species or region; such ribs do not appear in two co-generic species.},

In total, 16 harvestmen species were found, representing 45.7 % of the 35 harvestmen species range known in Slovakia to date. Th e most abundant species, i. e., those with the highest dominance values (D), were Lophopilio palpinalis (D = 22.8%), Trogulus nepaeformis (D = 17.9%), Lacinius ephippiatus (D = 12.2%), Trogulus tricarinatus (D = 11.3%), Oligolophus tridens (D = 10.5%), and Nemastoma lugubre (D = 6.7%). At the partial plot of the 3-year old forest clearing, we found eight harvestmen species and noticed a high number of specimens (5.49) caught in one individual trap, and this was also the highest number among all the nine sites.},

Six permanent plots were established in Norway spruce monocultures planted on former non-forest land and mycocoenological features, such as species diversity, abundance, distribution of sporocarps, dominance and succession of species and biomass production of epigeic sporocarps were observed. Sixty species of lignicolous macromycetes were identified, eight of them parasitic (Armillaria ostoyae, Fomitopsis pinicola, Heterobasidion annosum, Neonectria fuckeliana, Schizophyllum commune, Stereum sanguinolentum, Trichaptum abietinum and Verticillium sp.) and 52 saprotrophic. Species richness on the permanent plots was more or less similar (number of species varied from 21 to 29). Lignicolous macromycetes occurred most frequently in the oldest stands where dead wood was available. The permanent plots were dominated by Calocera viscosa, Dacrymyces stillatus and Hypholoma fasciculare. Presence of rotting spruce trees in the first 14 years of growth stands was negligible, while in the 23 years old stands was accounted for 28%. Sporocarps of important pathogens Armillaria ostoyae and Heterobasidion annosum were firstly noticed in the 33 years old spruce stands. The highest values of sporocarp production were found in the oldest, 40 years old stands (133.49 and 57.19 kg.ha-1), the lowest in the youngest, 16 to 22 years old plantations (13.01 and 31.6 kg.ha-1).},

They are eurytopic and hygrophilous (except Phalangium opilio) species whose occurrence in moist microhabitats in peat bog is expected. On the other hand, the open sun and overheating peat bog microhabitats are suitable for occurrence of the heliophilous harvestmen Phalangium opilio. Rilaena triangularis was a dominant species (D = 6.7). As the subdominant species were recorded Platybunus pallidus (D = 3.83), Platybunus bucephalus and Lacinius ephippiatus (both D = 2.87) and Leiobunum rupestre (2.39). Among harvestmen, which mostly occur in conditions of peat bogs, fens, wetlands and waterlogged floodplain communities in our country we can be classified mainly Lacinius ephippiatus, Mitopus morio, Oligolophus tridens, Nemastoma lugubre, Rilaena triangularis, Astrobunus laevipes, Mitostoma chrysomelas, Lophopilio palpinalis, Platybunus bucephalus and other.},

abstract = {Viacerí, najmä starší členovia dnešnej Slovenskej mykologickej spoločnosti pri SAV si ešte spomenú na rok 1989, kedy sa členovia vtedajšej pracovnej skupiny Základnej organizácie č. 10 Slovenského zväzu ochrancov prírody a krajiny v Bratislave (od roku 1993 Spolok slovenských mykológov, resp. Spoločnosť slovenských mykológov) rozhodli založiť sériu mykologických trvalých výskumných plôch (TVP) v smrekových monokultúrach, rastúcich na bývalej nelesnej pôde na lokalite Vrch Dobroč.
Idea dlhodobého monitoringu dynamiky mykocenóz v rôznovekých porastoch pochádza od RNDr. Pavla Lizoňa, PhD., vtedajšieho pracovníka Slovenského národného múzea v Bratislave, dnes pracovníka Botanického ústavu SAV v Bratislave. Pre praktickú realizáciu tejto myšlienky Prof. Ing. Jozef Kodrík, CSc., profesor vtedajšej Vysokej školy lesníckej a drevárskej (dnes Technickej univerzity vo Zvolene), navrhol lokalitu Vrch Dobroč. Spolu s ďalšími poprednými slovenskými mykológmi, Prof. RNDr. Dušanom Mlynarčíkom, DrSc., MUDr. Miloslavom Procházkom, Ing. Vincentom Kabátom, Ing. Pavlom Škublom, CSc., Ľudovítom Varjú, Prof. RNDr. Jánom Gáperom, CSc., na jar v r. 1989 priamo v smrekových porastoch lokality Vrch Dobroč založili štyri TVP o výmere 1250 m2 v porastoch rôzneho veku (TVP A a TVP B v 24-ročných porastoch, TVP C v 7-ročnom poraste a TVP D v 2-ročnej sadenicovej kultúre smreka). Od r. 1989 uvedení mykológovia a niektorí ďalší pracovníci na týchto plochách uskutočnili viacero mykologických exkurzií.
Mykofloristický a mykocenologický výskum na mykologických TVP na lokalite Vrch Dobroč bol hlavným cieľom aj kandidátskej dizertačnej práce RNDr. Ivana Mihála, CSc., ktorý na problematike sukcesie a produkcie makromycétov na lokalite Vrch Dobroč intenzívne pracoval v rokoch 1992 až 1994. V ďalších rokoch (1996 až 1999 a v rokoch 2001 a 2003) tento autor na TVP uskutočňoval mykologický výskum spravidla len počas jesenných mesiacov (Mihál 1995, 2002, 2005). Mykologická problematika na lokalite Vrch Dobroč bola predmetom skúmania aj iných autorov, napr. doktorandov z TU Zvolen (Kunca 1997, Kocúrová 1996, 1997, Molnárová 2000 – pozri Gáper, Molnárová 2000 a Šurjanská 2000 – pozri Gáper, Šurjanská 2000).
Treba však zdôrazniť, že počas zimy 1993/1994 porasty na lokalite Vrch Dobroč zasiahla silná snehová a vetrová víchrica, čo malo za následok rozsiahlu kalamitu, ktorá postihla aj mykologické TVP (čiastočný rozvrat porastu na TVP A a úplné zničenie porastu na TVP B). Ako náhrada za TVP A a B boli vo vekovo rovnakých porastoch v októbri 1994 vybrané TVP E a TVP F. V ďalších rokoch pokračoval na celej lokalite postupný rozvrat porastov, čo viedlo k sanačným opatreniam lesníckej praxe a po roku 2007 boli zlikvidované porasty aj na TVP C, E a F.
Od roku 1989 do roku 2006 je z lokality VDO Vrch Dobroč (priamo z mykologických TVP ako aj mimo výmery TVP) doposiaľ známych 222 druhov makromycétov, ktoré prináležia do 104 rodov. Početnosť determinovaných druhov makromycétov na jednotlivých TVP počas nášho výskumu (od roku 1989 do roku 2003), bola viac-menej rovnaká. Vo veľkej väčšine išlo o bežné a typické druhy pre smrekové porasty. Medzi vzácnejšie nálezy z porastov VDO Vrch Dobroč môžeme zaradiť druhy Anthracobia macrocystis (Cooke) Boud. [podľa Škublu (Škubla 2003) ôsma lokalita na Slovensku], Entoloma lucidum (P. D. Orton) M. M. Moser [podľa Kuncu (Kunca 1996) prvá lokalita na Slovensku], Omphalina scyphiformis (Fr.) Quél. [podľa Škublu (Škubla 2003) druhá lokalita na Slovensku], Stropharia albonitens (Fr.) Quél. [podľa Škublu (Škubla 2003) štvrtá lokalita na Slovensku]. Celkové percentuálne zastúpenie parazitických a saprotrofných lignikolných druhov makromycétov (32,7%), saprotrofných humikolných, karbonikolných a koprofilných druhov (39,2%) a ektomykoríznych - symbiotických druhov makromycétov (28,1%) napovedá, že z ekofyziologického hľadiska môžeme mykocenózu smrekových monokultúr v porastoch TVP charakterizovať ako prevažne saprotrofnú s významným zastúpením ektomykoríznych symbiontov a nízkym zastúpením lignikolných parazitov.
Okrem druhovej diverzity bola na mykologických TVP zaznamenávaná aj abundancia plodníc, t.j. početnosť vytvorených epigeických plodníc determinovaných druhov makromycétov na každej TVP. Zo získaných hodnôt abundancie bola následne vypočítaná produkcia biomasy plodníc makromycétov (pomocou hmotnosti priemernej plodnice daného druhu huby). U každého determinovaného druhu bola zaznamenávaná aj distribúcia plodníc, t.j. početnosť miest nálezu plodníc druhu na TVP. Počas výskumu hodnoty abundancie a distribúcie plodníc kolísali tak na jednotlivých TVP ako aj počas jednotlivých rokov hodnotenia, čo môžeme pripísať celkovým klimaticko-ekologickým podmienkam počas jednotlivých rokov (mykologicky chudobné roky 1993, 1997, resp. klimaticky vhodné, mykologicky bohaté roky 1996, 1998, 2001), ako aj pôdnym a humifikačným procesom a klimaticko-ekologickým pomerom, ktoré úzko súvisia aj s vekom porastov.
Hodnoty dominancie druhov určovali sukcesný trend makromycétov od najmladších porastov po najstaršie porasty na jednotlivých TVP počas celej doby výskumu. Na TVP A a B boli stálymi dominantami druhy Hygrophorus pustulatus (Pers.) Fr. a Lycoperdon umbrinum Pers., na TVP D sú to druhy Laccaria laccata agg. a Cortinarius cinnamomeus (L.) Fr. V poraste TVP C sa ku konci doby výskumu začali ako dominantné makromycéty uplatňovať najmä druhy rodu Mycena, za účasti stálych dominantov Gymnopus perforans (Hoffm.) Antonín & Noordel., Clitocybe metachroa (Fr.) P. Kumm. alebo Lycoperdon umbrinum. K týmto druhom môžeme priradiť aj ďalšie druhy, ktoré sa v procese sukcesie zaradili do skupiny dominantných makromycétov. Na TVP D sú to druhy Thelephora terrestris Ehrh., Amanita muscaria (L.) Lam. a druhy rodu Mycena. Na TVP C druhy Amanita muscaria, Heyderia abietis (Fr.) Link a Mycena pura (Pers.) P. Kumm. V prípade TVP A a B možno uviesť druhy Gymnopus perforans, Clitocybe metachroa, Paralepista flaccida (Sowerby) Vizzini a Laccaria laccata agg. Do veľkej miery to korešponduje s výsledkami Gápera (Gáper 1992), ktorý v súvislosti s vekom porastu zistil nasledovné sukcesné tendencie: a) druhové spektrum narastá - najmä v rodoch Amanita, Clitocybe, Collybia a Cortinarius, b) druhové spektrum najprv rastie, potom klesá - najmä v rodoch Hebeloma a Marasmius, c) druhové spektrum sa s vekom porastu nemení - najmä v rodoch Chalciporus a Laccaria. Tu treba pripomenúť, že rod Hebeloma sa evidentne najviac vyskytoval na TVP C a iba v malej abundancii na TVP D.
Za celú dobu výskumu (1993 až 2003) sme najvyššie hodnoty produkcie biomasy plodníc zaznamenali u druhov Amanita muscaria (1572,2 kg.ha-1 čerstvej hmotnosti plodníc), Lactarius deterrimus Gröger (389,6), Paralepista flaccida (316,4), Lycoperdon umbrinum (305,5), Mycena alcalina agg. (303,2) a Hypholoma fasciculare (Huds.) P. Kumm. (241,7). Najvyššie hodnoty produkcie boli zaznamenané na TVP C (3418,46 kg.ha-1 čerstvej hmotnosti plodníc) a najmenej na TVP B (136,16 kg.ha-1). Je to dané najmä tým, že TVP C predstavovala kompaktný mladý smrekový porast, kde pravidelne a vo veľkej abundancii fruktifikovalo mnoho najmä ektomykoríznych druhov makromycétov, pričom na TVP B boli abundančné a následne aj produkčné hodnoty plodníc všetkých druhov makromycétov veľmi nízke vďaka snehovej a veternej kalamite, ktorá TVP B prakticky zlikvidovala. Nižšie hodnoty produkcie sme z tohto dôvodu zistili aj na TVP A.

Perspektívy ďalšieho výskumu

Monitoring mykocenóz v rôznovekých smrekových porastoch na VDO Vrch Dobroč bude naisto pokračovať aj počas rokov 2016 až 2019 v rámci doktorandského štúdia a napĺňania cieľov vedeckého projektu VEGA. V máji 2016 boli v rôznovekých smrekových porastoch založené série nových mykologických TVP (A1, A2, A3 – plochy v 15 až 20-ročných porastoch, B1, B2, B3 – plochy v 25 až 30-ročných porastoch a C1, C2, C3 – plochy v 45 až 50-ročných porastoch).
Na uvedených nových TVP sa pre najbližšie obdobie v rámci výskumu plánuje pokračovať v hodnotení dynamiky druhovej diverzity makromycétov a vybraných mykocenologických faktorov (abundancia a distribúcia plodníc, dominancia a sukcesia druhov, ekotrofia, produkcia biomasy plodníc). Zároveň sa bude venovať väčšia pozornosť hodnoteniu abiotických faktorov skúmaného prostredia (merania pôdnej vlhkosti, pH, stanovenie štruktúry a zrnitosti pôdy, obsahu biogénnych prvkov, pomeru C/N, množstvo humusu, atď.). Získaná charakteristika pedobiologických a pedochemických pomerov obohatí faktografiu abiotických a biotických pomerov výskumných plôch.
Plánuje sa zhodnotiť zdravotný stav smrekových porastov (žltnutie a defoliácia asimilačných orgánov metodikou ICP – Forest) ako aj úroveň fytopatologického ataku porastov (abio – a biotické poškodenia kmeňov smrekov na výskumných plochách). V rámci autekologických pozorovaní sa plánuje výskum fylogenetickej príbuznosti a taxonomickej validity vybraných rodov a druhov makromycétov pomocou molekulárno-genetických metód, t.j. sekvenčnou analýzou klonov nr DNA (napr. rodov Armillaria s.l., Heterobasidion s.l., Laccaria s.l. a Scutellinia s.l.).
Na základe predchádzajúceho výskumu z rokov 1989 až 2003 môžeme do určitej miery formulovať pracovné hypotézy, ktorých overenie bude náplňou budúceho výskumu mykoflóry na predmetnom území. Môžeme predpokladať zvýšenie druhovej diverzity a dominancie saprotrofných makromycétov od vekovo najmladších porastov k najstarším smrekovým porastom na jednotlivých TVP. Predpokladáme nárast produkcie biomasy plodníc makromycétov od vekovo najmladších porastov k najstarším smrekovým porastom na jednotlivých TVP, ako aj zvýšenie druhovej diverzity a dominancie lignikolných (parazitických a saprotrofných) makromycétov od vekovo najmladších porastov k najstarším smrekovým porastom. Nakoniec môžeme predpokladať aj pokles druhovej diverzity a dominancie ektomykoríznych makromycétov od vekovo najmladších porastov po vekovo najstaršie porasty na jednotlivých TVP.

abstract = {The authors present the mycocoenological characteristics of selected localities situated near magnesite plants in Central Slovakia. 24 researched plots were situated in the Slovenské rudohorie Mts (Revúcka vrchovina highland) in 4 degradation stages: A – pollution crust slope with almost no vegetation, B – deforested slopes with grassland vegetation, C – thinned forest cover, D – normal forest cover. The total of 212 macromycetous species as well as 3 slime molds were determined in the individual degradation stages. The species Agyrium rufum, Ceratosphaeria lampadophora, Encoelia glaberrima, Massaria inquinans, Melanomma pulvis-pyrius, Nectria decora, Patellaria atrata, Steccherinum laeticolor and Tympanis corylina are presented as the first findings for Slovakia. The species Coprotus winteri, Entomophthora coleopterorum, Sistotremastrum niveocremeum and Tomentella sublilacina are presented as the second finding for Slovakia. Within Slovakia, the findings of the species Claussenomyces olivaceus, Laeticorticium roseum, Phanerochaete sordida, Sistrotremastrum suecicum, Tomentella fibrosa and Trechispora farinacea are very interesting and rare. Due to the
122 abundance of dead wood at the researched localities, the majority of the 117 species determined here belong to the group of lignicolous saprophytes. Only 30 mycorrhizal symbionts have been documented due to adverse conditions, (low precipitation, dry soil horizons), and strong imissions impact; (e.g. no mycorrhizal symbionts in the degradation stage A, one symbiont in B, 13 symbionts in C and 23 symbionts in the degradation stage D). The value of ectomycorrhizal potential was upgraded for all stages (A: 0.0, B: 0.08, C: 0.45, D: 0.56). In general, the increase of the species spectrum of all fungi has been observed throughout all stages (14 species in stage A, 33 species in stage B, 107 species in stage C and 149 species in stage D). Moreover, the increasing number of Ascomycotina species has been observed from the stage A to D (3 species in stage A, 25 species in stage C and 23 in stage D).},

Overall, 10,863 beech trees were evaluated at 121 localities. The majority of trees (6,679) were evaluated at 55 localities in Slovakia and the remaining 2,684 trees at 50 localities in Bulgaria. In each country, we noted a wide interval of the values of beech stem necrotization index (ISN) – e.g. in Bulgaria from 0.22 to 1.50 and in Slovakia from 0.53 to 1.97. The average value of ISN in Slovakia (1.22) was higher than the value in all other countries except for the Czech Republic (1.35). Overall, in Bulgaria, we found a more favourable state of beech bark necrotic damage than in Slovakia. As much as 80% of the Bulgarian localities had ISN values < 1.1 compared to only 49.1% of the Slovakian localities. At the same time, 12.7% of the Slovakian localities had ISN values > 1.5, whilst there was no Bulgarian locality recorded in this interval. We consider Slovakia and Bulgaria as the countries where the issue of beech bark necrotic damage is relatively well established.},

abstract = {In the period from August 2009 to July 2011 research on harvestmen communities was carried out in traditionally used vineyard landscape in Svätý Jur area in the Malé Karpaty Mts. This model area represents landscape with occurrence of historical structures of agricultural landscape (HSAL), that create a species rich of unique islands that are result of long term mutual relationship between man and the landscape. The HSAL are inhabited by various animal taxonomical groups including also the harvestmen (Opiliones). The harvestmen individuals were captured by pitfall traps method. In total, 386 specimens belonging to 13 harvestmen species and to 3 families were obtained during two–year research. Majority of obtained harvestmen species are typical ones for fragmented thermophilic microhabitats of the vineyard landscape in Slovakia, namely eudominant species Lacinius horridus (dominance = 28.2 %), Phalangium opilio (24 %), Opilio saxatilis (13.7 %) and Nelima semproni (11.4 %). On the other hand, the hygrophilous species Mitostoma chysomelas, Trogulus nepaeformis and Trogulus tricarinatus have been also obtained, but only with sporadic occurrence.},

abstract = {Mycological and floristic research was carried out in alluvial forests (alliances Alnion incanae Pawłowski in Pawłowski et al. 1928 and Salicion albae Soó 1930) in the alluvium of the Muránka river in the north-western part of the Gemer region in central Slovakia during 2009–2012. In the studied forest stands the authors identified altogether 236 macromycetes and 13 slime molds (in total 249 taxa). As the first records for Slovakia following specimens were found out: Diderma globosum var. europaeum, Fuligo laeviderma (Myxomycota), Entomophthora coleopterorum (Zygomycota), Acrospermum compressum, Belonopsis filispora, Echnoa infernalis, Xylaria digitata (Ascomycota) and Hohenbuehelia angustata, Melampsora amygdalinae (Basidiomycota). The highest number of taxa belong among lignicolous saprotrophes (158 species) and terrestric saprotrophes (51 species), this might be because of enough dead wood substrate and rich humus litter layer on alluvial soils in the habitats. On the other hand, the number of lignicolous parasites (13 taxa) and ectomycorrhizal symbionts (11 taxa) were rather low.},

abstract = {The authors mapped occurrence of three biotic vectors of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) bark necrotic disease: beech lice Cryptococcus fagi Bärensp. and moths Bucculatrix ulmella Zeller and Ectoedemia liebwerdella Zim. in several countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe. The role of these species in European beech pathology is discussed. We have found a massive occurrence of C. fagi in all the localities, with frequency values reaching up to 100%. The occurrence of beech lice was not limited by the locality altitude. The butterfly E. liebwerdella generally occurred in most localities, with exception of Poland and Romania. In contrast to C. fagi, occurrence of E. liebwerdella was limited by altitude. The upper occurrence limit in Slovakia was 800 m a.s.l., in Bulgaria it was 1,220 m a.s.l. (32%) and infrequent in 1,380 m a.s.l. (only 4%). The butterfly B. ulmella occurred everywhere, apart from Poland. Its frequency was always lower than that of C. fagi and E. liebwerdella. The maximum value (91%) was found in Slovakia in a beech stand strongly affected with airborne pollutants in the past. Our results show that the upper occurrence limit for this species was 900 m a.s.l. in Slovakia and 1,250 m a.s.l. (4%) in Bulgaria.},

abstract = { The beech bark necrosis (BBN) infestation severity of European
beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) was assessed in regions of Central (CE) and
South-Eastern Europe (SE). Altogether more than 10,000 trees were sampled
at 114 sites. Using variation partitioning method, we examined the
pure and shared effects of stand, site, climate and spatial sets of variables
on mean BBN severity. Our rating included (i) the whole stand, (ii) tree
social status classes, (iii) canopy (C) and (iv) understory (U) trees separately.
We found that C trees were less affected by BBN than sub-canopy
and U trees in both regions. There were found inter-regional differences in
amount of explained variability (25.4–73.9%) for whole stand BBN and in
the sensitivity of C and U trees to the environmental gradients. The analysis
revealed that the climate and spatial variables followed by stand variables
had the largest marginal effects on mean BBN severity in all models,
while the site set of variables had the weakest one. More than half of the
explained variation was shared among four sets of variables in SE, contrary
to CE. Except to U trees in SE, the effect of climate – pure or spatially
structured – remained the highest also after partitioning of variance; more
in SE than in CE. Taking into account positive association between mean
annual temperature and mean BBN severity in C trees in SE, reinforced
negative effect of climate change on the necrosis might be expected to be
more serious mainly in low situated beech forests there. Promoting the
tree species diversity in areas with higher incidence of beech bark necrosis,
i.e. in low altitudes in SE, could reduce the susceptibility of forests to
the necrosis at regional level in the future. For better understanding of the
relative importance of environmental and spatial variables on BBN severity,
further research performed on finer spatial scale (extent and grain) is
necessary, along with accounting for pathogens involved in the infestation.},
