Functiona-biodiversity of macrofungi associated with-eaf-itter decomposition in a subalpine coniferous forest

对日本中部御岳山亚高山针叶林大型真菌的物种丰富度和功能多样性进行了研究。在为期一年的野外观察中，共记录到18个真菌类群。这些真菌类群在纯培养条件下对凋落叶中的木质素具有明显的分解能力。这些结果表明，低温和生长季节短等非生物因素可能是森林中分解缓慢的原因。

Species richness and functional biodiversity of macrofungi were studied in a subalpine coniferous forest on Mt. Ontake, central Japan. A total of 18 fungal taxa were recorded during a one-year field observation. Most of these fungal taxa caused marked ability to decompose lignin in leaf litter under a pure culture condition. These results suggest that non-biological factors such as low temperature and short growing season may responsible for the slow decomposition in the forest.
