說明

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 at four transects: conifer forest with access of reindeer (transect A), conifer forest without access of reindeer (transect B), a broadleaf forest accessed to tourists (transect C), and a swamp (transect D). 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. Our 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). Events are identified by an event ID which is composed of the transect identifier and a sample number. Each event ID is associated with a parent event ID which is composed of a transect identifier and the date when the event occurred (collection date). Occurrences, associated with an event, are identified by an occurrence ID which is composed of an event ID and a GBIF usage 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 a pin collection of 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 usage key: <code>2613081</code>) in relation to the event <code>A_018561C</code>. This dataset is in development. It contains data on transect A and transect C. Observations from transects B and D will be uploaded in the following updates.

計畫資料

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.

取樣方法

Sterilized wooden pins of softwood (pine and spruce) and hardwood (birch), each in a duplicate, were placed on the top soil of four 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, transect D - swamp. The pins were collected approximately every 2 weeks during summer and fall seasons between July 1, 2022 and October 6, 2023. Upon collection, the pins were dried for 2 hours at 45°C and stored at room temperature. Sawdust then was extracted by drilling and DNA was isolated from it. A set of 40 tagged primers for ITS fungal region (Clemmensen, 2016) were used to perform PCR with each DNA sample. The tagged amplicons were then mixed into a multiplex which was used for Next Generation Sequencing. The resultant sequence files were processed in SCATA pipeline (https://scata.mykopat.slu.se/). Species were identified using a curated fungi database UNITE Fungi v 9.0 (https://unite.ut.ee/) in SCATA using USEARCH algorithm, and then those that were not identified in it were identified using BLAST algorithm and Nucleotide database of NCBI (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) . Taxonomic IDs were aligned with the GBIF backbone taxonomy database, and fungal traits were assigned using the FungalTraits database (Põlme, 2020).

研究範圍 The sampling event 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 four different sampling sites. They were collected every 2 weeks during summer and fall seasons.
品質控管 Paired FASTQ files of NGS of multiplexes were submitted to SCATA to ensure the quality of reads. Tag identification was based on a 90% primer match. Only sequences with a minimum of 200 in length were considered. Minimum base quality was 10. UNITE Fungi v 9.0 (2023-07-18) database was used for species identification. For species where no match exists from the UNITE Fungi database, a BLAST search was performed. The search result with a minimum bit score of 200, had the lowest e-value, and had the highest percent identity is considered the best match species. Species taxonomy was referenced from GBIF backbone taxonomy. Only species of the Fungi kingdom were included in the species list. Species without a known genus were excluded.

方法步驟描述:

  1. MycoPin placement Four 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 an individual number. 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 four different sampling sites: (A) An area of a boreal forest protected from grazing by reindeers. (B) An area of a boreal forest located next to A, but unprotected by reindeers. (C) An area of a mixed broadleaf forest, accessed by random visitors. (D) An area of a swamp protected from 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 ITS2 fungal region were used to perform PCR according to Clemmensen (2016). While the forward and reverse primers were always the same, a pair of primers with a unique nucleotide tag was used to perform PCR for each DNA extracted from each MycoPin. 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 was used to exclude false-positive results in a form of water.
  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 the following procedure:
    1. The FASTQ files were uploaded to SCATA pipeline (https://scata.mykopat.slu.se/) .
    2. A SCATA pipeline was used to exclude sequences of low quality, clustering of similar sequences, and identification of species using UNITE v. 9.0 (2023-07-18) fungi database. Clusters present in positive and negative controls were excluded.
      1. Sequence quality was parameterized to include only the following: (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. Pipeline was configured to overlap and merge the FASTQ files. 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.
      2. SCATA uses the USEARCH algorithm for clustering. 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. Penalty for mismatch was set to 1. 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 down sampling and no removal of low frequency genotypes were performed during clustering. Up to 3 representative sequences were reported for each cluster.
    3. Double clusters and clusters present in positive and negative controls were excluded.
    4. For each of the clusters without a match from the UNITE database, a BLAST search against 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 BLAST 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.
    5. The abundance of the same species were amalgamated.
    6. Each species ID 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).
