The Soil FungiLog procedure: method and anlytical approaches toward understanding fungal functional diversity
Zak JC and Sobek EA. 2003. The Soil FungiLog procedure: method and anlytical approaches toward understanding fungal functional diversity. Mycologia. 95(4):590-602
Conservation methods often are focused on preserving the biodiversity of a particular landscape or ecosystem. Species richness data are problematic when attempts are made to enumerate microfungi, particularly those from the soil. Many soil fungi fail to sporate, making identification difficult. Herein we have described a procedure (Soil FungiLog) and analytical techniques that will let investigators examine the functional role that soil fungi play in providing structure and stability to ecosystems.
