A technical survey of biotechnology across forest ecosystems

Volume four of the Forest Microbiology series maps how genomics, bioinformatics, next-generation sequencing, and genetic approaches are being applied to trees and forest-associated microbes. It begins with foundational methods, then moves into application-focused coverage of tree health protection, mushroom technology, biological control, biochar, bioenergy, strain selection, metabolic engineering, and commercial uses. Climate adaptation and resilience to living and nonliving stressors provide an important throughline, placing laboratory and field technologies within broader forest-ecosystem questions. As an edited, 482-page reference, it brings together biotechnology topics spanning microbial resources, tree improvement, and practical forestry applications.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Forestry and forest microbiology students
  • Researchers working with tree–microbe interactions or forest biotechnology
  • Professionals interested in biotechnology applications for forest health and bioenergy

Book overview

Biotechnology Applications in Forestry: Forest Microbiology, Volume Four in the Forest Microbiology series, is a comprehensive exploration of harnessing the unique attributes of the microbes in the forest biome and their tree hosts. The book introduces the basics of genomics, applied bioinformatics and next generation sequencing, providing a firm foundation before moving to specific approach, application and use chapters. Further sections explore opportunities through the use of genetics to expand or improve on many of these positive attributes of forest trees and associated organisms, including adaptation to climate change as well as resilience to biotic and abiotic stressors.

Novel techniques and current advances in the application of modern biotechniques in tree health protection, mushroom technology, biological control, biochar, bioenergy, Isolate & strain selection, metabolic engineering and commercial application relevant for forest ecosystem are also addressed.
