Role of Fungi in Ecosystem
Fungi play a critical role in ecosystem dynamics, influencing various aspects of nutrient cycling, decomposition, and symbiotic relationships. As essential decomposers, they break down organic matter, releasing nutrients back into the soil for plant uptake. Moreover, fungi form mutualistic partnerships with plants, aiding in nutrient absorption and enhancing plant resilience to stressors. Their presence is fundamental in maintaining ecosystem balance and biodiversity. Understanding the intricate interactions between fungi and their environment is crucial for elucidating ecosystem functioning and resilience in the face of environmental changes.
