Soil mycobiota of relict birch forests in mountainous Crimea

For different ecological niches of relict birch and pine forests from the Canyon Yaman-Dere situated in the Crimean mountains the list of soil micromycetes species have been made and their distribution was described. In addition to the known importance of phytocenosis type, the abiotic environmental factors were shown to play an important (sometimes leading) role in the micromycetes species distribution and soil mycobiota formation for the mountain slope forestical phytocenosis which have inhomogeneous ecological conditions.
