Research focus:

My research interests focus primarily on symbiotic relationships between woody plants and fungi. I pay special attention to ectomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizal fungi, which are key to the proper functioning of forests in temperate and boreal climates. In my studies, I use conventional mycological methods, such as observing fungal fruiting bodies, as well as molecular identification of ectomycorrhizal fungi based on Sanger sequencing. I also conduct metagenomic analyses of soil fungal communities and fungi related to plant roots using massive next-generation sequencing. Combining these methods provides a more comprehensive description of the diversity of fungi representing various functional groups present in the analyzed environment. My research focuses on diverse forest ecosystems and includes both native and non-native tree species. By combining environmental and mycological data, I also attempt to determine the factors that influence mycobiota diversity.

Keywords:
fungi, symbiosis, mycorrhiza, ectomycorrhiza, forest ecosystems, species diversity, functional diversity, molecular studies
