Ectomycorrhizal Fungi

This book introduces what sclerotia grains are, and where and how they exist in soils, by compiling the results obtained from the studies on fungal sclerotia formed by Cenococcum geophilum (Cg) and related species, the visible black small grains persistent for a few thousand to ten thousands of years in forest soils and sediments.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of arbuscular mycorrhizae. Chapters provide a better understanding of these fungi, their application and management, and their effects on different types of plants.

This book is divided into the following sections: “Ecology and Environmental Aspects of Nitrogen in Agriculture”, “Nitrogen Fertilizers and Nitrogen Management in Agriculture”, “Utilization and Metabolism in Crops”, “Plant-Microbe Interactions”.

This book has encompassed a cross-section of topics on different concepts to describe effective strategies by using these substances and/or beneficial microorganisms within sustainable agroecosystems.
