Описание

This work elucidates succession patterns of saproxylic fungi in undisturbed boreal forests, exploring how environment and forest management practices influence fungal diversity in decaying wood. Leveraging the MycoPins method (Shumskaya, 2023), sterilized wooden pins were placed in the topsoil layer and allowed to decay with subsequent periodic extraction; fungal colonization was monitored across four different forest ecosystems in Finland during 2022-2023.

MycoPins were placed in twenty groups of six (sextets: two pins made of pine, two of birch, and two of spruce) along four independent transects: conifer forest with access of reindeer (transect A), conifer forest without access of reindeer (transect B), a broadleaf forest and accessed to tourists (transect C).

Reindeer is a keystone species in boreal forests which defines biodiversity of major ecosystems. Cladonia sp. is a lichen that is heavily consumed by reindeer and is in abundance in a protected forest, while almost absent in unprotected forests. Hence, reindeer grazing might have a significant impact on forest microbiome.

The research is designed to test several hypotheses: 1). Succession of species is present in fungal communities in deadwood as communities change with progression of decay. 2). Biodiversity of saproxylic fungal guilds is different across different biotopes. 3). Fungal communities differ in hardwood (Angiosperms, broadleaf) vs softwood (Gymnosperms, conifers). One sextet was collected from each transect biweekly, with breaks if the transect was not accessible due to weather or other circumstances. The fungal communities in each pin were analyzed using DNA metabarcoding, fungal species were identified in each pin and the data uploaded to GBIF.org.

The occurrence dataset is represented by events and occurrences, with DNA-derived data provided for each occurrence. Events contain information about different substrates observed in a particular environment (transect) over a period of time. Occurrences are associated with an event and refer to the presence or absence of fungal species on a specific substrate along a transect observed over a given period. The set of fungal species in these occurrences represents those observed throughout the entire observation period. The DNA-derived data of events provide additional details on the identification of fungal species on the substrate samples.

Events are identified by an event ID which is composed of the transect identifier (either A, B, or C) and a sample number (six numbers and a letter). Each event ID is associated with a parent event ID which is composed of a transect identifier (either A, B, or C) and the date when the event occurred (collection date in a format YYYY_Month_DD). Occurrences, associated with an event, are identified by an occurrence ID which is composed of an event ID and a GBIF taxon key of a fungal species.

For example, the event <code>A_018561C</code> pertains to a MycoPin identified by <code>018561C</code> in transect <code>A</code>. The parent event id <code>A_2022_Jul_01</code> refers to collection of all six pins from transect <code>A</code> that occurred on <code>July 1, 2022</code>. The occurrence id <code>A_018561C:2613081</code> represents the <i>Hormonema macrosporum Voronin</i> (GBIF taxon key: <code>2613081</code>) in relation to the event <code>A_018561C</code>.

Sampling scheme for each transect are as illustrated as follows:

Данные проекта

The MycoPins (previously: ezDowels) project aimed to develop a rapid affordable protocol to monitor early colonization events in communities of boreal wood-inhabiting (saproxylic) fungi. Building upon research experiences of applicants, earlier INTERACT data, and the latest metabarcoding methods, setting and testing of sampling techniques was performed, as well as sample processing, data processing and analysis of the development of early dead wood fungal communities. The fieldwork carried out at INTERACT sites was followed by the laboratory analysis at Kean university. The project aimed to add a new monitoring method for INTERACT portfolio, and pave a way for a broader scale Remote Access project, and establish a well-documented internationally standardized data publishing routine for research stations to increase visibility and current Virtual Access through global data discoverability portals.

Методы сбора

A sextet of sterilized wooden pins of three types of wood, each in a duplicate (softwood - pine and spruce, and hardwood - birch), were placed on the top soil along three different sampling sites: transect A - conifer forest with reindeer access, transect B - conifer forest without reindeer access, transect C - broadleaf forest with access to tourists. The pins were collected approximately every 2 weeks during summer and fall seasons between July 1, 2022 and October 6, 2023, with the exceptions for the time periods when the transects were not accessible (e.g. winter).

Охват исследования The sampling was performed in a boreal forest at the Oulanka Biological Station, Finland from July 1, 2022 to October 6, 2023. Sterilized wooden pins of pine, birch, and spruce were placed in three different sampling sites. They were collected every 2 weeks during summer and fall seasons.
Контроль качества Upon collection, the pins were dried for 2 hours at 45°C and stored at room temperature. Sawdust then was extracted by drilling with a sterilized bit and stored at −80°C.

Описание этапа методики:

  1. MycoPin placement Three 10 m wires (transects) were prepared with pin sets (MycoPins) attached to each one of them at every meter. Each MycoPin set consisted of 6 pins (a sextet): a pair of pine pins (softwood), a pair of birch pins (hardwood), and a pair of spruce pins (softwood). Each sextet was labeled with a sample number (six numbers and a letter: A and B for pine, C and D for birch, E and F for spruce). Each transect was attached to a tree and then placed on the top soil with the pin sets buried under the top leaf and soil matter. One transect was placed at three different sampling sites: (A) An area of a boreal forest unprotected from reindeers. (B) An area of a boreal forest located next to A, but protected from grazing by reindeers. (C) An area of a mixed broadleaf forest, accessed by random visitors.
  2. Extraction and storage. One MycoPin sextet from each transect was located using the wire transect as a guide and collected every two weeks with exceptions for weather conditions. The collected sextets were dried in separate waxed paper bags for 2-3 hours at 45°C and stored dry at room temperature.
  3. DNA isolation. The core of each pin from each sexted was drilled using a 2 mm fire-sterilized drill bit. The resultant sawdust was collected in a sterile centrifuge tube. The sawdust was then used to isolate genomic DNA using PowerSoil DNA Isolation kit from Qiagen (USA) according to the manufacturer instructions. Homogenization was performed using BeadBug homogenizers (BenchMark Scientific). DNA concentration was measured using NanoDrop (ThermoFisher). Genomic DNA was stored at −80°C.
  4. PCR. Tagged primers for the ITS2 fungal region were used to perform PCR according to Clemmensen (2016). Forward and reverse primers were ITS7 andITS4, . Using this F/R primer sequence, a set of 40 tagged primer pairs was generated to individualize each PCR procedure. 10-nucleotide long unique tags were added to primers during oligonucleotide synthesis. Each DNA extracted from each MycoPin was subjected to PCR with a uniquely tagged primer pair. The amplification was verified via agarose gel electrophoresis. The amplified DNA was purified and stored at −20°C. E.Z.N.A® Cycle Pure Kit (Omega Bio-tek) was used for the amplicons purification. Positive control was used to verify the PCR and subsequent NGS in a form of mock fungal community made of 12 plasmids (Palmer, 2018), negative control (water) was used to exclude false-positive results. Tagging of PCR fragments allowed for mixing them into a single multiplex for a subsequent Next Generation Sequencing; the resultant sequence file can be sorted into clusters by tags, allowing to segregate individual amplicons.
  5. Next-Generation Sequencing. The amplified tagged DNA samples were combined at equal amounts of 100 ng to create a multiplex for next-generation sequencing. The multiplex was sequenced using AmpliconEZ service at Genewiz (Azenta Life Sciences, New Jersey, USA).
  6. Bioinformatics.

    Two paired FASTQ files for each multiplex were analyzed using SCATA (https://scata.mykopat.slu.se/), a bioinformatic tool designed for analyzing sequenced tagged amplicons. The FASTQ files were uploaded and verified as SCATA datasets. Low quality sequences were excluded, similar sequences were clustered, and abundance data for each cluster was calculated.

    The sequence quality was based on several criteria using SCATA default parameters, they include (1) a 90% primer match on tag identification, (2) a minimum sequence length of 200, (3) a minimum base quality of 10, and (4) a minimum mean base quality of 20. The FASTQ files were overlapped and merged. Kmer size for overlap search was set to 7. The minimum number of adjacent kmers to form high-scoring segment pairs during overlap search was set to 5. The minimum number of shared kmers to merge a read pair was set to 10.

    SCATA uses the USEARCH algorithm for clustering. Using the SCATA clustering criteria defaults, the clustering distance was set to 0.015, the minimum proportion of the longest sequence in a sequence pair to consider for clustering was set to 0.85, the penalty for mismatch was set to 1, and no penalty was set on an introduction of an open gap. However, a penalty of 1 is incurred for each succeeding gap. No weights were used for end gaps. Homopolymers longer than 3 before clustering were collapsed. No downsampling and no removal of low frequency genotypes were performed during clustering. Up to 3 representative sequences were reported for each cluster. Double clusters and clusters present in positive and negative controls were excluded.

    Each set of representative sequences is matched to a species found in the UNITE v. 9.0 (2023-07-18) fungi database. For each of the clusters without a match, a BLASTn search against the NCBI database was performed. The search result with the lowest e-value and the highest percent identity was considered the best match species for the cluster. The BLASTn match results with a score less than 200 were excluded. If there are multiple best matches, the first match in the best match list is selected.

    The abundance data (DNA sequence reads) of the same species were amalgamated.

    Each species identification was aligned with the taxonomy of GBIF Backbone using statistical software R and rgbif package v. 3.7.9. Non-fungal species were rejected. Fungal species not identified on the genus-level, at the minimum, were also discarded. Fungal traits were assigned according to FungalTraits database (from an Excel sheet, supplementary data of Põlme, 2020). Historical weather data for each transect were gathered from Weatherstack (www.weatherstack.com).

    Note:The abundance data is used as the Organism Quantity in the GBIF occurrence dataset with “DNA sequence reads” as the Organism Quantity Type. The value is used to pertain to the abundance of a species relative to other species present for a particular event (date-transect-substrate).
