Abstract

The succession of microfungal communities on Myrtus communis leaf litter was monitored from Jan. 1993 to Nov. 1994 using the litter bag method. Three main groups of fungal colonizers were identified, whose presence is correlated with the successive decomposition stages of the substrate and with seasonal variations.
