Our study shows the importance of microhabitats on the fate of the decomposing spruce roots. Fungal communities associated with decaying roots of Picea abies decomposing in three microhabitats (soil with no vegetation, soil with ericoid shrubs cover, and P. abies deadwood) were followed for a 2-year period. Forest microhabitat showed stronger effect on structuring fungal communities associated with decaying roots compared to living roots. Regardless of the studied microhabitat, we observed decline of ectomycorrhizal fungi and increase of endophytic fungi during root decomposition.
