The Mycorrhizoshpere Effect on Pedogenesis and Terrestrial Biomes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mycorrhizosphere and Pedogenesis

Abstract

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature and soil is no exception. Plenty of microbes are present as conglomerate population in soil. Many of these microbes enter into symbiotic mutualism with vascular land plants. Of special interest is the symbiosis between land plants and members of kingdom Fungi. The association is known as mycorrhizae. According to Rambelli (Ectomycorrhizae. Academic, New York, 1973), the soil and its associated microbiota under the influence of mycorrhizae is known as mycorrhizosphere and it is an area of dynamic interaction among the mycorrhizal fungi and soil microbiota of the mycorrhizosphere that drives pedogenesis and determines terrestrial biome diversity of the ecosystem through nutrient cycling and biogeochemical cycles. Extensive work has been carried out in the last few decades on role of mycorrhiza in pedogenesis and as a mediator of ecosystem diversity but these two important aspects have been dealt with separately by various authors. This review aims at dealing with the two processes together and thus have a comprehensive review literature on how this symbiosis drives pedogenesis and determines terrestrial biome of a particular ecosystem.
