Preface

This dissertation was carried out at the Department of Conservation Biology at the Philipps-
University of Marburg from January 2005 to February 2009 under the supervision of Prof. Dr.
Birgit Ziegenhagen. It was accomplished within the interdisciplinary project ‚Untersuchungen
zur Co-Dynamik der genetischen Diversität von Tanne (Abies alba Mill.) und mit ihr
vergesellschafteter Ektomykorrhiza-Pilze nach Großstörungsereignissen (Süddeutsche
Windwurfflächen)’, funded by the ‚Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft’ (DFG;
project: Zi698 5/1-2).
Within this project, two PhD positions were appointed focusing on the ectomycorrhizal fungi
of silver fir (department ‘Mycology’) and focusing on the population genetics of silver fir
(department ‘Conservation Biology’). Combined manuscripts and publications were
developed according to manifold interferences of the common subject. This challenged us
(my dear colleague Kathrin Donges and me) not to exploit the data received by the other and
to focus largely on the respective single topic within our dissertations (‘population genetics of
silver fir’ and ‘ectomycorrhizal fungi of silver fir’, respectively). I therefore tried to discuss
discretely on silver fir as main focus integrating the ectomycorrhizal aspect only additionally.
An extensive discussion of the ectomycorrhizal fungi is given within the dissertation of
Kathrin Donges.
