    Fungi in Soils. Fungi are very successful inhabitants of soil, due to their high plasticity and their capacity to adopt various forms in response to adverse or unfavorable conditions (Sun et al., 2005).Due to their ability to produce a wide variety of extracellular enzymes, they are able to break down all kinds of organic matter, decomposing soil components and thereby regulating the balance ...

    Fungi are an important part of the microbial ecology. The majority of fungi decompose the lignin and the hard-to-digest soil organic matter, but some fungi consume simple sugars. Fungi dominate in low pH or slightly acidic soils where soils tend to be undisturbed (Lavelle & Spain, 2005). Fungi break down the organic residues so that many different types of microbes can start to decompose ...

    Jun 1, 2024Soil fungi play a vital role in promoting plant health and suppressing diseases. Mycorrhizal fungi (MF) extend the reach of plant roots, accessing nutrients from a larger soil volume, thereby improving plant growth and yield [18]. Soil fungi decompose organic matter, releasing essential nutrients that become available for plant uptake.
