Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is a heterogeneous material. Though regulated as un-
speciated mass, it exerts most effects on vegetation and ecosystems by virtue of the mass …

Soil heavy metal (HM) pollution, which arises from natural and anthropogenic sources, is a
prime threat to the environment due to its accumulative property and non-biodegradability …

This new edition of Fungi in Ecosystem Processes continues the unique approach of
examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how …

The effects of potentially toxic metals on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and their higher plant
hosts are examined in this review. Investigations at a species and community level have …

Mycorrhizal fungi form complex communities in the root systems of most plant species and
are thought to be important in terrestrial ecosystem sustainability. We have reviewed the …

Abstract Zinc, Cu, Pb, and Cd concentrations were examined in several plant species and
corresponding organic topsoil collected in forest and on ombrotrophic bogs along a …

European aspen is one of the most widely distributed trees in Central Europe and is a typical
early colonizer of poor and disturbed soils. However, little is known about ectomycorrhizal …

To advance our understanding of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in mining areas, the
diversity and composition of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with Masson pine (Pinus …

Rhizopogon roseolus/Pinus sylvestris mycorrhizas collected from calamine dumps (rich in
Cd, Zn and Pb) were analysed by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) connected to a …

To advance our understanding of the effects of inoculation with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF)
on seedling colonization in mine wastelands, we conducted a field experiment in a copper …
