5 Microbial Diversity and Tropical Forest Functioning 1 D. Jean Lodge 2 , David L. Hawksworth 3 and Barbara J. Ritchie 3 5.1 Introduction Fungi and bacteria control many of the vital processes on which the very maintenance and survival of tropical forests depend (Hawksworth and Colwell 1992). An overview of the role of microorganisms in ecosystem functioning as a whole has already been presented (Allsopp et al. 1995), Here, our goal is to identify the functional attributes of microorganisms in tropical forests, and to identify those processes that are most likely to be sensitive to losses of diversity, especially in the face of disturbance or broad environmental changes. In some cases, microbes may influence ecosystem processes indirectly by altering the diversity of other organisms. We also point out where research is needed to determine what effects losses of microbial diversity might have on tropical forest diversity, stability, and regeneration. 5.2 The Knowledge Base Remarkably little has been published on the numerous and often crucial ways in which fungi and bacteria influence tropical forest ecosystems. Only 96 references for fungi or bacteria in tropical forests were found by searching BIOSIS entries since 1963 as compared to 2411 references for temperate forests 4 . Most of the tropical publications related to diseases in 1 The Forest Products Laboratory, USDA Forest Service, Palmer, Puerto Rico, is maintained in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.
