Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the
immense range of habitats that fungi inhabit, and the consequent need to compete against a …

There is growing evidence of the importance of extramatrical mycelium (EMM) of mycorrhizal
fungi in carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. However, our understanding has until recently …

Zygomycetes are phylogenetically early diverging, ecologically diverse, industrially
valuable, agriculturally beneficial, and clinically pathogenic fungi. Although new phyla and …

Fundamentals of Soil Ecology, 3rd Edition, offers a holistic approach to soil biology and
ecosystem function, providing students and ecosystem researchers with a greater …

Different symbiotic mycorrhizal associations between plants and fungi occur, almost
ubiquitously, in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Historically, these have mainly been …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

Fungi play a major role in the function and dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems, directly
influencing the structure of plant, animal, and bacterial communities through interactions that …

Mycorrhizal fungi constitute a considerable sink for carbon in most ecosystems. This carbon
is used for building extensive mycelial networks in the soil as well as for metabolic activity …

To determine the dominant processes controlling nitrogen (N) dynamics in soils and
increase insights into soil N cycling from nitrogen isotope (δ 15 N) data, patterns of 15 N …
