AB  - Lowlands of Central Serbia are mostly covered by alluvial soils, while the natural vegetation types are various alluvial forests differentiated by the distance from the river bad (dynamics of soil water potential regimes) and gradients of  soil structure, nutrient availability and soil pH (Marjanovic et al 2020). These forests have been heavily exploited for timber throughout the human history, but what has remained still represent significant hotspots of above and belowground biodiversity. The rare specificity of these ecosystems is the high diversity of truffles, fungi producing belowground fruiting bodies, among which the most prised white Piedmont truffle holds a special attention (Bragato and Marjanovic, 2016). 
In order to describe these special habitats of Balkan Peninsula, we have conducted various experiments, mostly concentrated on soils that support the fructification of this ecologically and economically important species. In this contribution we will summarize results on soil structure, soil water content dynamics, nutrient availability, seasonality of soil processes as well as seasonality of root associated mycobiomes of selected alluvial forests. We focus on connecting the fructification of white truffle to different soil factors (Marjanovic et al 2015), as well as on defining the differentiation factors that have been shaping root associated mycobiomes (Marjanovic et al 2020). The contribution was set to uncover as many soil traits as possible to reveal the answer to the question of what are the ideal conditions of soil/vegetation /climate combination that is suitable for such specific fungal communities.

AB  - Knowledge about the environments of T. magnatum has been consolidated in the 2000s, confirming the importance of microclimate and that of specific soil types that, in fact, restrict the areas of natural spread of the fungus. In recent years, investigations have focused on two distinct themes: on the one hand, mycorrhization techniques have been refined, leading to the commercial production of mycorrhized plants and the establishment of the first experimental truffle orchards; on the other hand, the hydrological aspects of natural truffle areas, previously left in the background, have begun to be studied. The first topic has yielded interesting results with the start of production in areas never reported as productive and promises to expand the territories in which to "cultivate" T. magnatum. The second line of investigation is providing insights into the need for specific water management of truffles - natural and cultivated - focused on soil water conservation. For the future, it will be necessary to work in depth on this aspect. The natural environments of T. magnatum are characterized by a great need for water, which we hypothesize can be managed at the scale of micro-hydrographic basin, since the exclusive use of irrigation practices adopted, for example, for T. melanosporum is not economically viable.

AB  - Truffles are ectomycorrhizal fungi of which several species can be commercially produced in man-made plan-tations using trees inoculated with their mycelia. The production in tree plantations is meant to increase the availability of economically valued ascocarps on the market and, in the same time preserve natural habitats from an excessive pressure of truffle hunters, as well as limit the damage that they may face due to the inadequate management of truffle-producing regions. Even though plantations of summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) are the most ubiquitous in France and Italy, the Jaszsag region in Hungary has been recently recognized as one of the most productive areas in Europe. Forestry practice in this region often assumes the renovation of autochthonous tree stands by massive sowing of the tree seeds. One of these plantations of oaks (Quercus robur and Q. cerris), spontaneously colonized without artificial inoculation, appeared to produce the highest officially reported amounts of summer truffles in Europe. Therefore, the managing forestry company decided to apply practice that aimed at maintenance of high truffle production. Assuming that climatic and vegetation factors have no impact on ascocarp production within the stand, the plantation provided perfect experimental setup for investigating the influence of very localised soil properties and terrain morphology on truffle abundance. Therefore, in this contribution selected soil properties have been investigated in the entire plantation using specifically designed protocols to characterize the site and find out if the spatial variation in the truffle production can be explained by short-distance differences in soil properties. In the Chernozem soil type that dominated the entire forest stand, soil organic matter (SOM), soluble nitrogen (TN) and properties influenced by SOM and biological activity were positively correlated with high ascocarp production, whereas increased soil aggregate size and clay content was negatively correlated with productivity. The spatial distribution of these parameters appeared strongly related to ascocarp abundance distribution. Chernozem seems to be an ideal type of soil for Tuber aestivum ascocarp production, but terrain morphology and soil properties spatial pattern, which may have been historically influenced by fluvial and aeolian processes, can significantly influence the rate of production. In the case of non wood products such as truffles, forest management will necessarily have to consider the conditions of the soil environment that, influencing the presence of the truffle species, can make their production interesting in terms of income for the forest owner.

AB  - The production of Tuber magnatum Pico, the most prized and ecologically the most complex, constantly declines in natural habitats, while the success in plantation lacks. Contrary to the data from its habitats in Mediterranean sites, in Serbia this truffle colonizes typical developed alluvial forests, implying that dynamics of soil parameters and nutrient availability, rather than presence of specific ectomycorrhizal (EMC) plant host species or climate, might be crucial for supporting truffle life cycle. In order to reveal specific relationship generating soil microenvironments in productive and unproductive sites, soil water content (SWC) and temperature (T) were measured periodically in two depths, in a typical T. magnatum habitat in Western Serbia and compared to the atmospheric parameters (precipitation, air temperature). In three key time-points (spring soil water saturation, summer drought and autumn ascocarp production) soil was sampled through the profile and analyzed for nutrients that might be important for plant/fungal growth and ectomycorrhiza establishment. Results revealed that specific dynamics of soil water, aeration, available P and N, and possibly vegetation phenology, might be determining productivity of the microsites within the productive area. The hypothesis on soil water and nutrient availability seasonal dynamics, which might be controlling truffle establishment and life cycle completion in investigated area, was proposed.
