Sažetak
Gornje Podunavlje Special Nature Reserve in Serbia is recognized by its specific, unique and diverse flora and fauna. Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) and Euramerican poplar (Populus × euramericana (Dode) Guinier) are the most widespread and economically important tree species grown in this area. The aim of our study was to analyze for the first time the diversity of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on these two tree species in Gornje Podunavlje. ECM fungi were identified combining morphological and anatomical characterization with molecular analysis based on PCR amplification of the ITS region of fungal nuclear ribosomal DNA. The number of different categories of fine roots were counted, diversity indices were calculated, and ECM fungi were classified into exploration types. Some soil physical and chemical properties were analyzed as well. Twenty-eight ECM fungal taxa were found in total at two sites. Sixteen ECM fungi were identified to the species level, eight to the genus level, and three fungi remained unidentified. A total of 17 ECM fungal taxa were identified in the pedunculate oak stand and 15 in the Euramerican poplar plantation. Short-distance exploration type dominated on both tree species, but higher abundance of long-distance exploration type was recorded in the oak stand, which is likely related to the higher humus content measured at this site.
