Interactions between fungi and woody roots may be critical factors that influence diverse forest ecosystems processes, such as wood decay (nutrient recycling); root diseases and their biological control; and endophytic, epiphytic, and mycorrhizal symbioses. However, few studies have characterized the diversity and the spatial and temporal distribution of woody root-associated fungi in forest ecosystems. Molecular genetic techniques that facilitate fungal identification are now available to help investigate complex and dynamic interactions of these fungi.

This research highlights the vital but often overlooked role of soil fungi in forest ecosystems, focusing on their impact on nutrient cycles, carbon storage, and plant growth. It delves into how these fungi, especially those connected to plant roots, contribute to the overall health and productivity of forests. The study breaks new ground by examining how changes in the environment, influenced by factors like climate change and forest management practices, affect these fungi and the essential services they provide. The investigation is structured into three main parts: exploring the diversity and makeup of root-associated fungal communities, using advanced infrared spectroscopy to uncover new fungal traits, and studying fungi’s roles in carbon cycling and plant nutrition. Utilizing cutting-edge molecular techniques and large ecological databases, the researchers uncover the complex interactions between fungi, their environment, and plant hosts, demonstrating how these relationships are crucial for ecosystem resilience and productivity. Key findings reveal that the diversity and structure of fungal communities are crucial for maintaining forest health, particularly in the face of environmental stressors. The study advocates for forest management strategies that promote fungal diversity to enhance ecosystem services, highlighting the importance of fungi in sustaining forest ecosystems and their potential in mitigating the impacts of climate change. This work sets the stage for future research into the intricate relationships between fungi, forests, and global ecological cycles, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of these critical but underappreciated organisms.

In the course of evolution, a great variety of root systems have learned to overcome the many physical, biochemical and biological problems brought about by soil. This development has made them a fascinating object of scientific study. This volume gives an overview of how roots have adapted to the soil environment and which roles they play in the soil ecosystem. The text describes the form and function of roots, their temporal and spatial distribution, and their turnover rate in various ecosystems. Subsequently, a physiological background is provided for basic functions, such as carbon acquisition, water and solute movement, and for their responses to three major abiotic stresses, i.e. hard soil structure, drought and flooding. The volume concludes with the interactions of roots with other organisms of the complex soil ecosystem, including symbiosis, competition, and the function of roots as a food source.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic association with roots of a variety of plant species. They provide plants with nutrients in exchange of photosynthetic carbohydrates. In natural ecosystems, plants form associations not only with ectomycorrhizal fungi but also with a variety of other microbes. Interest in root-associated fungal communities is increasing because they may play an important role in plant nutrition and fitness. Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and development but often a limiting factor in forest ecosystems. To date, little is known on the relationship ...

Ectomycorrhizae: Their Ecology and Physiology provides an overview of the state of knowledge and opinion on the physiological ecology of ectomycorrhizae, which may be defined as symbiotic associations between nonpathogenic or weakly pathogenic fungi and living cells of roots. Although the book places considerable emphasis on forestry aspects of mycorrhizal problems, its wide ranging subject matter cuts across the boundaries of a number of traditional plant sciences. The book begins with discussions of the structure, cytology, and morphogenesis of mycorrhizae; their classification; and their distribution in native and man-made forests. It then deals with the growth of ectomycorrhizal fungi around seeds and roots; nutrition uptake; and the role of hormones in mycorrhizal development. The remaining chapters cover the rhizosphere; the role of mycorrhizae in feeder root diseases and the mechanisms for their resistance; and applications of mycorrhizal relations in forest management. This book will be of interest to a wide variety of researchers and teachers, especially agronomists, biochemists, foresters, horticulturists, mycologists, plant pathologists, soil scientists, plant ecologists, plant physiologists, and microbiologists.
