Abstract
From several running projects a fairly large amount of data on occurence of ectomycorrhizae in beech was generated for beech and mix forests with beech. Joined with parameters describing trees and soil characteristics from the same trees and locations will be used as an input into the MEFYQUE model for modelling of relocation and sequestration of carbon in stands chronically exposed to increased concentration of ozone and several comparable unpolluted stands. DGGE method will be additionally applied for in-depth analysis of ectomycorrhizae. We expect to find differences in carbon relocation between different pools (outputs of the model) between different treatments and stands with possible middle-term predictions of carbon dynamics in trees and forest soils.
