Agroforestry is recognized as a sustainable land-use management in
the tropics, as it provides environmental-friendly ecosystems; it
also provides people with their every day need for food and cash.
Since the recognition of agroforestry as a science, curricula have
been developed for agroforestry programs for undergraduate and
graduate trainings in Universities. Therefore, there is an urgent
need to develop and make available educational material. This
textbook strives to provide up-to-date information on tropical
agroforestry to serve as educational material in the tropical
context. The authoritative textbook of Nair (1993) on agroforestry
was published 18 years ago, and before the advent of tree
domestication, an important agroforestry practice today. In
addition, many other research activities, such as carbon
sequestration and integrated pest management, have been included in
the agroforestry agenda. This textbook is intended for agroforestry
students, teachers, and practitioners.

Mycorrhizal symbioses are widespread and fundamental components of
terrestrial ecosystems and have shaped plant evolution. Research in
this field is rapidly evolving and recent findings have done much
to improve our understanding of how these complex plant/fungal
associations function. This volume, which is aimed at the
scientific community, comprises 14 chapters written by more than 30
international experts for different fields of mycorrhizal research.
The chapters provide either in-depth reviews or the results of
previously unpublished scientific studies, and certain are
illustrated with photos and line drawings. The topics covered are
of global interest and include plant-fungal communication, the
interaction of mycorrhizal fungi and other soil microorganisms, the
use of mycorrhizal fungi in plant-production systems, and the
commercial harvesting of edible mycorrhizal forest mushrooms.
