| Summary: | Presents a coherent examination of wood decay processes, with close examination of the biology of the fungi involved. Brings together diverse material on the complex interactions between wood resources, organisms, and the environment--all of which influence the decay process. Provides detailed coverage on the microenvironment of wood, the nature of the organisms inhabiting it, and the various ways in which wood influences natural and human-made ecosystems. In addition to in-depth technical information, the authors present personal and speculative views designed to provoke debate and stimulate new approaches to the prevention, treatment, and manipulation of the wood decay process.
