A scientific overview of fungi’s roles in forest ecosystems

Edited by Ahmed M. Abdel Azeem, this volume examines forest fungi through both ecological and applied research lenses. It situates fungi within forests’ broader functions as reservoirs of biomass, carbon, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, while addressing their varied roles as mutualists, decomposers, and pathogens. The book also covers research processes and tools, including host-plant selection, fungal isolation and identification, fermentation, secondary-metabolite study, and omics approaches to plant–fungus interactions. Conservation, mycoforestry, and biotechnology connect these methods to questions of sustainable forest research and management.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and researchers in mycology, forestry, and plant science
  • Readers studying forest biodiversity and conservation
  • Professionals interested in fungal biotechnology and plant–fungus interactions

Book overview

Forest Fungi: Biodiversity, Conservation, Mycoforestry and Biotechnology explores sustainable option aspects of forest fungal research, from the selection of hosting plants, isolation, identification, fermentation, identification of secondary metabolites, omics-tools for better understanding the plant-fungus Interactions. Forests are the world's greatest repository of terrestrial biomass, soil carbon and biodiversity. They provide a variety of provisioning, supporting, regulatory and cultural ecosystem services, which are crucial for the survival of human beings. Fungi play key roles in forest ecosystems as mutualists, saprobes and pathogens.
