Microbes play key geoactive roles in the biosphere, particularly in the areas of element
biotransformations and biogeochemical cycling, metal and mineral transformations …

Clay minerals are very common in nature and highly reactive minerals which are typical
products of the weathering of the most abundant silicate minerals on the planet. Over recent …

The study of the role that fungi have played and are playing in fundamental geological
processes can be termed 'geomycology'and this article seeks to emphasize the fundamental …

Elevation of arsenic levels in soils causes considerable concern with respect to plant uptake
and subsequent entry into wildlife and human food chains. Arsenic speciation in the …

Mining activities generally decrease topsoil and vegetation, reduce soil biodiversity, and
yield extremely harsh environmental conditions, which in turn limit natural revegetation and …

Marshes have been proposed as sites for phytoremediation of metals. The fate of metals
within plant tissues is a critical issue for effectiveness of this process. In this paper we review …

The impact of land use intensity on the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was
investigated at eight sites in the “three-country corner” of France, Germany, and Switzerland …

Extraradical mycelia of mycorrhizal fungi are normally the hidden half of the symbiosis, but
they are powerful underground influences upon biogeochemical cycling, the composition of …

A comparison of published estimates of mycorrhizal and dark septate endophyte (DSE)
colonisation from various ecosystems suggests that DSE may be as abundant as …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; phylum Glomeromycota) are ubiquitous in terrestrial
ecosystems. Despite their acknowledged importance in ecology, most research on AMF has …
