Ecology of Saprotrophic Basidiomycetes: Volume 28

Klappentext The breadth and depth of understanding of many areas concerning basidiomycetes has incresed dramatically since the premier publication of Frankland et al.! Decomposer Basidiomycetes: their Biology and Ecology. New vistas have opened up with the advent of powerful computing! modelling and molecular approaches helping to greatly increase the general understanding of the ecology of basidiomycetes. This is tantamount to understanding the role of fungi in natural ecosystems since they are major agents of decomposition and nutrient cycling. These remarcable advances have been incorporated into this volume that discusses all aspects of saprotrophic basidiomycete ecology. Zusammenfassung Several vistas have opened up with the advent of computing! modelling and molecular approaches helping to increase the understanding of the ecology of basidiomycetes. This book covers a variety of these advances that discusses the aspects of saprotrophic basidiomycete ecology. Inhaltsverzeichnis The basidiomycete life-style Basidiomycete interactions with each other and with other fungi and with other organisms Structure and function of basidiomycete communities
