Here, we report the annotated genome of the saprophyte O. piceae, and its gene expression responses in a range of growth conditions that include wood nutrients and host defence chemicals.
To what extent can the variation in mass and carbon remaining in CWD be explained by tree species, log dimension, wood chemistry (nutrients, lignin) and microclimatic conditions?

A portion of the outflow is mixed with the pretreated wood and nutrients are sent back to the top of digesters so the overall retention time of materials is 20 days [ 13, 16].
These insects aid in wood decomposition and nutrient release.
The predicted proteomes of all sequenced trunk pathogens were annotated with a focus on functions likely associated with pathogenesis and virulence, namely (i) wood degradation, (ii) nutrient uptake, and (iii) toxin production.
In a recent publication documenting the metabolic potential of the microbiota associated with the A. glabripennis midgut, we discovered a taxonomically diverse assemblage of bacteria and fungi primed to make key contributions to digestive physiology, wood digestion, and nutrient acquisition in this system [ 25].
It plays an important role in breaking down wood and recycling nutrients into the soil.
Although many Finnish stakeholders emphasise the negative effects of energy wood harvesting on soil nutrient balance, they perceive that the effects remain small because energy wood harvesting from nutrient-poor sites is not taking place.
The effects of granulated and self-hardened wood ash on the nutrient status and stem growth of middle-aged Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L). stands were studied at two upland and two peatland sites 13 years after ash application.
