Effects of climate change on fungal diseases of trees / Effects of climate change on Fusarium foot rot of winter wheat in the United Kingdom / Effects of UV-B radiation (280-320 nm) on foliar saprotrophs and pathogens / Implications of global warming and rising sea-levels for macrofungi in UK dune systems / Red data lists and decline in fruiting of macromycetes in relation to pollution and loss of habitat / Effects of dry-deposited SO2 and sulphite on saprotrophic fungi and decomposition of tree leaf litter / Effects of atmospheric pollutants on phyllosphere and endophytic fungi / Influences of acid mist and ozone on the fluorescein diacetate activity of leaf litter / P.J.A. Shaw -- Mycorrhizas and environmental stress / Myccorhizas, succession, and the rehabilitation of deforested land in the humid tropics / Potential effects on the soil mycoflora of changes in the UK agricultural policy for upland grasslands / Uptake and immobilization of caesium in UK grassland and forest soils by fungi, following the Chernobyl accident / Effects of pollutants on aquatic hyphomycetes colonizing leaf materials in freshwaters / Fungi and salt stress / Fungal sequestration, mobilization and transformation of metals and metalloids / Urban, industrial and agricultural effects on lichens / Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation / Impact of genetically-modified microorganisms on the terrestrial microbiota including fungi / Has chaos theory a place in environmental mycology? / D. Lonsdale and J.N. Gibbs -- T.R. Pettitt and D.W. Parry -- P.G. Ayres [and others] -- M. Rotheroe -- B. Ing -- L. Boddy [and others] -- N. Magan, M.K. Smith and I.A. Kirkwood -- J.V. Colpaert and K.K. Van Tichelen -- D.P. Janos -- R.D. Bardgett -- J. Dighton and G. Terry -- S. Bermingham -- L. Adler -- G.F. Morley [and others] -- D.H. Brown -- I. Singleton and J.M. Tobin -- J.M. Whipps [and others] -- A.D.M. Rayner.
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.
