ABSTRACT

In forest ecosystem microorganisms play important role in dead wood decomposition and also effect forest health by providing manure to the vegetation. However, they are also involved in pathogenesis of tree. The fungal diversity in the soil of Achanakmar Biosphere of Chhattisgarh state of India was studied for three successive years from 2018 to 2021. Their involvement in wood composition was correlated. Overall 53 species belonging to 47 fungal genera were recorded. It was noted that seasonal variation impacted the diversity and decide the dominating fungal species in the habitat. It was also found that majority of the soil fungal species were positive for multiple enzyme assay involved in wood decomposition. Key words: Biodiversity, fungal diversity, forest ecosystem, wood decay, enzyme assay
