Despite an upsurge in national and international debate on
environmental issues since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in
1992, fungi, vital to the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems, are rarely mentioned. This volume helps redress this
imbalance by considering fungi in the context of the impact of
humankind's activity on their habitats. The presentation of
experimental evidence is a major feature of the volume.
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. This timely review will
be of interest to all mycologists and those ecologists concerned
with environmental change.
