Title

ABUNDANCE OF SOIL FUNGAL DIVERSITY AND SEASONAL VARIATION IN MATTAVARA FOREST OF CHIKKAMAGALURU, KARNATAKA.

Abstract

In the present study thirty six soil samples were collected from scrub jungle with moist and dry deciduous forest of Mattavara Chikkamagaluru Karnataka to explore the diversity of soil fungi during winter, summer and rainy season. Soil samples were collected out at the depth of 15 – 30 cm and fungi were enumerated by serial dilution method on PDA medium.. During the study period maximum number of fungal Species obtained in winter season 41 species belonging to 24 genera followed by summer season with 39 species belonging to 16 genera and in Rainy season 33 species belonging to 18 genera were recorded. Fungal class Deuteromycetes was recorded with highest percentage in all the three seasons followed by Zygomycetes , Ascomycetes , Oomycetes, Chytridomycetes and three types non sporulating fungi. The diversity indices of soil fungi over three seasons were recorded in winter Shannon index is 3.141, in summer 3.114 and 2.584 in rainy season. During rainy season Simpson’s index is 0.1242 followed by winter 0.07026 and 0.06001 in summer season. Recorded Dominance index for the summer season is 0.94 followed by winter 0.9297 and 0.8758 in rainy season. Evenness values lies around 0.40 to 0.57. Fisher Alpha index during summer is 7.568 rainy followed by winter 4.919 and rainy 3.759 season. No single factor can be spotted as an important microbial determinant and all the environmental factors of the forest ecosystem are responsible for the variation in the distribution of soil fungi in different seasons.
