MYCORRHIZAL MEDIATION OF SOIL: FERTILITY, STRUCTURE, AND CARBON STORAGE

---

Mycorrhizas have long been recognized for their key roles in plant health and production of food and fiber, but increasingly they are recognized for moving matter and energy through ecosystems. These widespread plant–fungus partnerships function at the interface between living roots and soil. In this regard, they integrate the biotic and abiotic c omponents of e cosystems. The purpose of this book is to review and synthesize information about m ycorrhizas and provide new insights about their roles in soil fertility, structure, and carbon storage. Current global carbon models vary widely in their predictions of the dynamics of the terrestrial carbon pool, ranging from a large sink to a large source. A better u nderstanding of mycorrhizal mediation of soil could inform earth system models and may improve the a ccuracy of their predictions. The idea for this book arose while planning the Eighth International Conference on Mycorrhizas that was hosted in Flagstaff Arizona in August 2015. The goal of the c onference was to unite mycorrhizal science across disciplines and scales. A well-timed query from Marisa LaFleur at Elsevier sparked the idea to integrate the knowledge and perspectives of a broad range of mycorrhizal researchers into a single edited volume designed to explore mycorrhizal mediation of soil processes. After the conference, chapter authors were selected based on their expertise in particular areas so that a broad spectrum of knowledge and ideas is represented in the book.
