Long-term monitoring of terrestrial macrofungi

A series of permanent plots and routs was initiated in vicitinity of Khanty-Mansiysk (Shapsha village) in 2014 to describe the species composition, quantitative structure and dynamics of communities in different forest and bog types. The logging being the main factor of disturbance in the area, we chose several stages of after-cut succession to locate 10 plots. Another series of plots was built in a raised bog community, at the research polygon of Mukhrino Field Station. The methods of sampling follow recommended in (Mueller et al., 2004, Biodiversity of fungi ..). The plots and routes are visited regularly since 2014 once in 1-2 weeks covering the whole vegetation season and allowing to describe the phenology of fruiting.

The monitoring data is published in GBIF as sampling-event datasets and could be accessed through the following links:

Example of location of plots in a coniferous forest near the village of Shapsha. The diagram on the left shows the arrangement of 4 sites (with 1 or 2 lines of micro-plots inside each). Plot 1 is enlarged in the tab below to show the lines of micro-plots (a total of 40). The diagram on the right shows a fragment of the arrangement of round micro-plots relative to each other.
