Soil nutrients dynamics and status of Mycoflora Population in a tropical Forest Soil of Uttarakhand Himalaya
Abstract:
Tropical forests have a great diversity of microorganisms. Fungi are the most important group of microbes. They play an essential role in tropical forest ecosystem as saprotrophs, mutualists and pathogens. In the present study, we attempted to study the soil nutrient dynamics and status of the mycoflora population, along with the effect of soil nutrient dynamics on the fungal population. Fourteen species of fungi within five genera belonging to three families were isolated and identified from the six forest sites in the Chilla forest division under Rajaji tiger reserve. They belong to the class Zygomycetes and form class Deuteromycetes. The soil of the study area was acidic without much variation among all the six study sites. Higher nutrient concentrations were recorded in the top layer of the soil, which supports the maximum number of fungi population in the study area. Further, fungal flora was also correlated with varying ecological factors, viz. pH, organic carbon and nitrogen and phosphorus.
