Interactions between mycophagous nematodes, mycorrhizal and other soil fungi
… mycophagous nematodes feed on the mycelia of VAM fungi and consequently reduce the spread of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) infection in plant roots and the growth response of plants to this infection was investigated in experiments carried out under controlled environmental conditions. …

Effects of Soil Fungi on Tree Seedling Establishment in a Southeastern Coastal Plain Forest
Effects of fungi and overstory composition on tree seedling survival and growth were investigated in closed canopy upland forests in the coastal plain of South Carolina. Seedlings of Quercus alba, Cornus florida and Pinus taeda were planted in the understory of two forest types -naturally …

Some Aspects of the Colonisation and Decay of Fungicidally-Protected Cotton Textiles by Soil Fungi
… the use of pentachlorophenyl- laurate (PCPL) fungicides, which are among those most widely used for textile protection. Aspects of some major types of techniques used in the study of fungal ecology in relation to textile testing are discussed and experimental data obtained by their use is …

Diversity Analysis of Soil Fungus Communities in Disturbed, Nursery, and Mature Forest Conditions
<p>Populations of soil fungi were examined in Derby Canyon Natives, Coeur d’Alene Forest Service nursery, Swamp Lake, and the Keechelus Lake wildlife overcrossing soils. All sampling sites were connected by their relation to the revegetation and native soil plug inoculation of the wildlife …

ΑΝΑΖΗΤΗΣΗ ΚΕΡΑΤΙΝΟΦΙΛΩΝ ΜΥΚΗΤΩΝ ΚΑΙ CANDIDA ΣΕ ΑΘΛΗΤΙΚΟΥΣ ΧΩΡΟΥΣ
THE PATHOGENIC AND SAPROPHYTIC FUNGI HAVE BEEN, SINCE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, SUBJECT OF MANY STUDIES. THIS IS DUE TO THE INCREASE OF MYCOSIS FREQUENCY, NOT ONLYBY THE KNOWN PATHOGENIC SPECIES BUT ALSO BY SAPROPHYTES OF THE ENVIRONMENT ESPECIALLY OF THE SOIL AND THE AIR. THE SOIL FUNGI OFTEN PRODUCE …

The effects of different concentrations of phosphite on ectomycorrhiza formation by Pisolithus tinctorius in Castanea dentata
… symbioses between tree roots and certain soil fungi, and the phosphites themselves may be phytotoxic at high doses. Container-grown chestnut seedlings were treated with six phosphite solutions ranging from 0.0g/l to 12g/l both with and without a spore inoculation of the ectomycorrhizal …

Higher fungi in soils of coastal Arctic tundra plant communities
Presence and abundance of filamentous soil mycelium was determined in North American coastal Arctic tundra soils near Barrow, Alaska. Soils were examined at one centimeter intervals from the surface to the depth of thaw, 0-24 cm, over a three year period during the International Biological …

The Effects on Soil Fungal Community of Excluding select Above-ground Herbaceous Species in a Montane Longleaf Pine Savanna Restoration Area
… Vegetation strongly associates with specific soil fungi operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and description of longleaf pine ecosystems are incomplete without description of microbial taxa.</p> <p>My goals were to begin describing soil fungal communities of the longleaf pine at Sheffield …

The Effects of Nigerian Fungi on Nigerian Wood
The effects of Nigerian fungi on Nigerian wood are studied. The fungal flora of Nigerian soil samples, wood veneers, and the aerial environment where the soil samples were collected was investigated. The isolates included many fungal biodeteriogens. There was a close relationship between the fungal …

SUCCESSION OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, AND CONSIDERATIONS
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are soil fungi associations with the majority of terrestrial plants. These fungi may affect a wide range of ecosystem processes from primary productivity to soil stabilization. Understanding the patterns and controls of AMF abundance during succession soil will be …

The effects of invasive European Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) on soil microbial community composition
… woodlands suggest that buckthorn might increase soil nitrogen and carbon by stimulating rapid decomposition of litter. Because decomposition and nitrogen cycling are microbial processes, I hypothesize that buckthorn invasion changes the community composition of soil microbes, and these changes …

Toward Ecological Holism: Discerning Pattern, Process and Scale Across the Productivity Landscape
… mediate many physiological processes, from soil fungi providing nutrients for plant growth, to gut microbes metabolizing vitamins important to human health, all of which can change the metabolism, well-being, and productivity of hosts. I considered the elements of freshwater and forest …

Overcompensation of Ipomopsis aggregata following ungulate herbivory: getting to the root of it
… other organisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and other fungal associates that could provide the necessary nutrients needed. A long-term study of the monocarpic biennial, scarlet gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata, showed that ungulate herbivory by mule deer and elk can result in a …

Impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on crop and weed growth: potential implications for integrated weed managment
… integrated weed management (IWM) programs. Using soil microbes for weed suppression has been considered as one of the non-chemical approaches, owing to the microbial potential for reducing weed growth and influencing weed community dynamics. However, successful use of soil microbes as classical …
