Generic composition of fungi in soil aggregates

Soil aggregate distribution and turnover affects soil microbial ecology and ecosystem processes in three bioenergy systems

“…Much research attention has been given to fungi and their role in soil ecology, at the millimeter scale. Soil fungi exhibit multiple growth forms including macrofungi, filamentous growth forms, and single-celled yeasts which allow for a diverse community to coexist among niches spanning soil habitats (Drazkiewicz, 1996). Soil aggregates, stable associations of clay, sand, mineral particles, organic matter, roots, and microorganisms, form the basis of soil structure and belowground habitat.…”
