- Association Fungal diversity had no clear relationship with declining wood density in living Chamaecyparis pisifera heartwood.
- Mechanism The selective heartwood environment may explain disagreement with previous log studies about fungal diversity and wood density.
- Method / resource Clustering grouped the heartwood samples into four clusters.
- Observation Indicator OTU trophic modes and wood saprotroph decay types changed through heartwood decay.
- Observation The four clusters corresponded to pre-decay, incipient, intermediate and advanced heartwood decay stages.
