Description:
 

The primary focus of this study was to characterize fungal communities from soil samples collected from different geographic locations in Sweden. The occurrence of five fungal species provided support for the conservation of fungal taxa across the sampling sites. However, these taxa were not always among the 25 most abundant taxa sampled. An increased knowledge of the fungal and other bacterial and eukaryotic communities associated with plants, seeds and soil can contribute to the development of improved approaches to better conserve orchids in the future.
