Fungi In Ecosystem Processes (Mycology)

This second edition continues the unique approach of viewing the role of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It examines the importance of fungi in soil formation, plant primary production, sustenance of secondary producers and regulation of plant and animal populations and communities. It explores how fungi have adapted to survive within particular constraints, how they help to maintain homeostasis in ecosystems, how they facilitate resistance to perturbations and how they influence the communities of other organisms.
