Download or read book Handbook of Soil Fungi written by A. Nagamani and published by I. K. International Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of biotechnologically, industrially and environmentally important fungal organisms are found in the soil. Most studies on soil fungi deal with the quantification of fungi while only a few are available on their identification and description. In this handbook, the authors have provided an exhaustive account of the description of 317 species of soil fungi belonging to 122 genera All the species and genera are arranged alphabetically with related synonyms and special emphasis has been give to the keys to the species, genera, families, orders and related classification for easy identification. Handbook of Soil Fungi will be an important contribution to mycofloristics. It will serve as a guide to experts as well as beginners in the study of soil fungi and their enumeration and identification. The detailed laboratory methods dealing with isolation, cultivation, culture, media, preservation, slide preparation and ecological distribution of fungal species from various soils, and the glossary provided will serve as a complete manual. The morphological details of the fungal species, coupled with photomicrographs and camera lucida diagrams, are a special feature of this book. The present book is the first detailed monograph on soil fungi from the Indian subcontinent.

Download or read book A Handbook of Tropical Soil Biology written by Fatima M. S. Moreira and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical handbook describes sampling and laboratory assessment methods for the biodiversity of a number of key functional groups of soil organisms, including insects, earthworms, nematodes, fungi and bacteria. The methods have been assembled and the protocols drafted by a number of scientists associated with the UNEP-GEF funded Conservation and Sustainable Management of Below-Ground Biodiversity Project, executed by the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility (TSBF) Institute of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). The methods provide a standardized basis for characterizing soil biodiversity and current land uses in terrestrial natural, semi-natural and agroecosystems in tropical forests and at forest margins. The aim is to assess soil biodiversity against current and historic land use practices both at plot and landscape scales and, further, to identify opportunities for improved sustainable land management through the introduction, management or remediation of soil biota, thus reducing the need for external inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. The book also contains extensive advice on the handling of specimens and the allocation of organisms to strain or functional group type. Published with TSBF-CIAT, CTA, UNEP and GEF

Download or read book Life in the Soil written by James B. Nardi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo da Vinci once mused that “we know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot,” an observation that is as apt today as it was five hundred years ago. The biological world under our toes is often unexplored and unappreciated, yet it teems with life. In one square meter of earth, there lives trillions of bacteria, millions of nematodes, hundreds of thousands of mites, thousands of insects and worms, and hundreds of snails and slugs. But because of their location and size, many of these creatures are as unfamiliar and bizarre to us as anything found at the bottom of the ocean. Lavishly illustrated with nearly three hundred color illustrations and masterfully-rendered black and white drawings throughout, Life in the Soil invites naturalists and gardeners alike to dig in and discover the diverse community of creatures living in the dirt below us. Biologist and acclaimed natural history artist James B. Nardibegins with an introduction to soil ecosystems, revealing the unseen labors of underground organisms maintaining the rich fertility of the earth as they recycle nutrients between the living and mineral worlds. He then introduces readers to a dazzling array of creatures: wolf spiders with glowing red eyes, snails with 120 rows of teeth, and 10,000-year-old fungi, among others. Organized by taxon, Life in the Soil covers everything from slime molds and roundworms to woodlice and dung beetles, as well as vertebrates from salamanders to shrews. The book ultimately explores the crucial role of soil ecosystems in conserving the worlds above and below ground. A unique and illustrative introduction to the many unheralded creatures that inhabit our soils and shape our environment aboveground, Life in the Soil will inform and enrich the naturalist in all of us.
Download or read book Detection and Isolation of Soil Fungi written by Pierre Davet and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there has been remarkable progress in the detection and identification of micromycetes in recent years, we still resort to empirical methods to obtain a pure culture of a fungus from a soil sample or from an infected root. Some of these methods have been reproduced in this book, just as they were first published in journals. It is for the first time that these methods have been collected in one volume. Regardless, how empirical these methods may be, they are based on some base data which is described in the first part of the book. It can be used to develop other techniques, or for preparing new selective media. The techniques and isolation media for a given fungus are presented in the second part. The species are listed in alphabetical order. Indices are given for easy reference. This concise book is intended for all those who handle soil fungi, whether for theoretical studies or practical applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers will perhaps be surprised to find a volume about fungi within a handbook of vegetation science. Although fungi traditionally feature in textbooks on botany, at least since Whittaker (1969), they have mostly been categorised as an independent kingdom of organisms or, in contrast to the animal and plant kingdom, as probionta together with algae and protozoa. More relevant for ecology than the systematic separation of fungi from plants is the different lifestyle of fungi which, in contrast to most plants, live as parasites, saprophytes or in symbiosis. Theoretical factors aside, there are also practical methodological considerations which favour the distinction between fungal and plant communities, as has been shown for example by Dörfelt (1974). Despite their special position the coenology of fungi has been dealt with in the handbook of vegetation science. It would be wrong to conclude that we underestimate the important differences between fungal and plant communities. The reasons for including the former are that mycocoenology developed from phytocoenology, the similarity of the methods and concepts still employed today and the close correlation between fungi and plants in biocoenoses.
