About the Book

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.

Review :
' ... the book provides an interesting pot-pourri of contributions that range across a wide variety of interactions including the effects of global warming, UV-B radiation, both atmospheric and terrestrial pollutants, tropical deforestation and genetic engineering ... there is certainly plenty of interest in the book for both ecologists or mycologists.' Jeremy Burdon, Journal of Applied Ecology 'This timely review, which reminds us just how important fungi are in our world, will be of interest to mycologists, ecologists and others concerned with environmental change.' Martin Crawford, Agroforestry News ' ... provides valuable up-to-date information on numerous interactions between environmental change and fungi ... This book is recommendable to mycologists, plant biologists and plant physiologists.' Michael Fischer, Journal of Plant Physiology ' ... form a valuable introduction to a number of areas of new exploration and are a valuable source of data for those engaged in relating science and the environment to public policy. the book is very well edited, is easy to read (except where occasional, necessary, technical jargon supervenes) and is presented in an interesting fashion, with good graphic material.' N. F. Robertson, Annals of Botany
