Description

Mycorrhizal Fungi in South America: Biodiversity, Conservation, and Sustainable Food Production (Fungal Biology)

Mycorrhizal Fungi in South America: Biodiversity, Conservation, and Sustainable Food Production (Fungal Biology Series) is an essential academic and research reference for understanding the ecological, agricultural, and economic roles of mycorrhizal fungi across diverse South American landscapes. Now available in Pakistan through BooksHub.pk, this book is especially valuable for mycology researchers, agronomists, environmental scientists, ecologists, forestry professionals, and food sustainability experts working to enhance soil health and sustainable crop production.

This volume explores the biodiversity of mycorrhizal fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae, and endophytic fungi, and highlights their importance in nutrient cycling, soil fertility, plant growth promotion, water stress tolerance, and disease resistance. The book connects fungal ecology with food security, demonstrating how mycorrhizal networks support sustainable agriculture in both traditional farming systems and modern agroecological practices.

Readers will find:

• Detailed taxonomic and ecological descriptions of mycorrhizal species in South American ecosystems

• Case studies from tropical rainforests, mountainous regions, grasslands, and agricultural soils

• Methods for isolation, identification, and characterization of mycorrhizal fungi
