A foliation is said to be \textit{taut} if the underlying manifold carries a Riemannian bundle-like metric making all the leaves minimal. \textit{Y. Carrière}, in his paper [in: Structure transverse des feuilletages, Toulouse 1982, Astérisque 116, 31--52 (1984; Zbl 0548.58033)] conjectured that in the case where the manifold is compact, tautness is equivalent to the nontriviality of the top-dimensional basic cohomology group. The conjecture was solved by \textit{X. Masa} in [Comment. Math. Helv. 67, No. 1, 17--27 (1992; Zbl 0778.53029)]. For some noncompact manifolds, a cohomological characterization of taut foliations was given by the authors of the paper under review [Manuscr. Math. 126, No. 2, 177--200 (2008; Zbl 1155.57026)]. In the present paper, the authors extend this characterization to a larger class of noncompact foliated manifolds, which includes those that can be embedded as regular strata of singular Riemannian foliations, and also as other strata. The paper also contains a historical review of the subject.
