In all subjects in science, new findings and the use of new technologies allow us to develop an ever-greater understanding of our world. Expanded and updated coverage in the fourth edition includes :
- Adds new sections on Integrating Genomics and Metagenomics into Community Analysis, Recent Advances in Fungal Endophyte Research, Fungi in the Built Environment, and Fungal Signaling and Communication
- Includes a broader treatment of fungal communities in natural ecosystems with in-depth coverage of fungal adaptations to stress and conservation
- Expands coverage of the influence of climate change on fungi and the role of fungi in organically polluted ecosystems
Includes contributions from scientists from 20 nations to illustrate a true global approach for bridging gaps between ecological concepts and mycology
Features
- Adds new sections on integrating genomics and metagenomics into community analysis, fungi in the built environment, and fungal signaling and communication
- Provides in-depth coverage on the use of metagenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics to identify fungi, helps calculate their abundance, determine their associations among themselves and other organisms, and measure their individual and community function
- Includes greatly expanded and updated sections on fungal communities in natural ecosystems, fungal faunal Interactions, fungal communities and climate change and pollution, and fungal conservation
- Offers insight into the complexity of studying fungal communities and the importance they may have on local, landscape, and ecosystem levels
- Contains contributions of global experts
