Every existence ύπαρξη (íparksi) in soil performs a function and is connected to the other
organisms in the ecosystem. However, the functions of the sclerotia, the glittering black …

This book introduces what sclerotia grains are, and where and how they exist in soils, by
compiling the results obtained from the studies on fungal sclerotia formed by Cenococcum …

Sclerotia, tentatively identified as the resting bodies of Cenococcum geophilum, were
obtained from cool-temperate forests on Mt. Chokai and Mt. Iwaki in northern Japan and on …

Sclerotia are the resting bodies of fungi. The exact biochemical properties of melanized
sclerotia that allow them to remain in the soil and retain their structure are unclear …

The micromorphological features of the interiors of sclerotia grains were examined by
scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy combined with energy …

The relationship between the distribution of fungal sclerotia grains and soil chemical
properties was studied in forest soils in the Harz Mountains, Germany. In addition, the micro …

Cenococcum geophilum is known for its vast habitat range in temperate and arctic-alpine
climatic zones. The distribution of Cg sclerotia, resting bodies which persist for a long term …

Sclerotia of Cenococcum geophilum tend to be particularly abundant near its mycorrhiza as
spherical grains of about 0.05–4 mm in diameter. In this study, we examined sclerotium …

The ectomycorrhizal fungus Cenococcum geophilum (Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes) forms
black, round to irregular sclerotia in forest soils. Fungi that colonize the sclerotia appear to …

Abstract Concept of scale of time and space was introduced to overview soil development
and soil component formation, including sclerotia grains formation in soil. Studies of …
