Fungi and Environmental Change

British Mycological Society Symposia

by Juliet C. Frankland (Editor), British Mycological Society

Fungi play a vital role in the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet they have received little attention in the debate on environmental change. This volume redresses this imbalance. Contributions on the effects of global warming, UV-B radiation, atmospheric and terrestrial pollutants, deforestation in the tropics, loss of biodiversity, genetic engineering and chaos theory ensure a topical and balanced coverage, with both ecological and physiological viewpoints being represented.
