Across the time series Stereum hirsutum is the most frequently occurring speciesMethods
In 2015, we established six study sites, each containing three subplots differing in their levels of sun exposure: (a) sun-ex-posed on a forest meadow, (b) canopy-shaded within a closed forest stand and (c) artificially shaded by mesh nets on a forest meadow. The third treatment was implemented to obtain shaded conditions without any bias of covarying factors from the forest stand, but because of its manipulation nature, it is not included in this time series for BioTIME. Freshly cut logs of six different tree species were randomly exposed in early 2015 on each subplot, including two softwood broadleaf tree species: European hornbeam Carpinus betulus and European aspen Populus tremula; two hardwood broadleaf tree species: European beech F. sylvatica and sessile oak Q. petraea; and two coniferous tree species: silver fir Abies alba and Scots pine P. sylvestris. All logs were felled in the study area and had a similar mean diameter of 32.9 (SD ± 5.6) cm and a similar mean length of 303 (SD ± 10.4) cm. To prevent possible influences of ground vegetation, all logs were placed on oak logs with a diameter of 25 cm. Basidiomes of wood-inhabiting fungi were assessed visually on the log surfaces in October 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021. Species were identified either in the field or, for cryptic species, in the laboratory. Biomass was estimated as coverage of the fungi on the deadwood object divided into 4 classes: 1=<1%, 2= 1-10%, 3=10-50%, 4=>50%.
