Abstract
This is the first record of successful strain introduction into a well-established forest ecosystem. Introduction was more successful when planting inoculated living spruce saplings, compared to inoculation using autoclaved colonized roots. 7_45_5 was less assertive in the forest, where Phialocephala subalpina clearly dominated. Clear-cutting favored A. applanata and simultaneously reduced the overall frequency of PAC. Drought only had a significant influence on 7_45_5, which was more abundant in dry than moist, non-clear-cut plots. To conclude, disturbances and arrival of foreign strains can alter resident PAC communities significantly.
