Invasive forest pathogens affect the characteristics, microbial colonisation, a...
Ferreira, Verónica; Pazianoto, Laryssa H. R.; Solla, Alejandro1. Invasive tree pathogens threaten forests worldwide, but their effects on streams are poorly understood. Nevertheless, tree infections that lead to changes in the characteristics of litter inputs to streams may affect stream communities and ecosystem processes. 2. We studied cross-ecosystem effects derived from Phytophthora cinnamomi, Phytophthora ×alni, and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi infection on Castanea sativa (...
Leaf litter decomposition of sweet chestnut is affected more by oomycte infecti...
Pazianoto, Laryssa H. R.; Solla, Alejandro; Ferreira, VerónicaRiparian forests are subjected to multiple disturbances, such as tree diseases caused by invasive pathogens, whose consequences on stream functioning are unknown. We assessed the impact of Phytophthora cinnamomi infection, and interactions with temperature, on microbial decomposition of Castanea sativa leaves. Leaves from healthy, symptomatic and highly symptomatic trees were incubated in the laboratory at 13 a...
