| Title |
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae in two tropical monodominant trees |
| Date |
1997 |
| Description |
Mycorrhizae, symbioses between plant roots and fungi, are in virtually all terrestrial plant ecosystems. Substantial evidence indicates that mycorrhizal associations are beneficial to both partners. In most systems, the fungus benefits the host plant by effectively scavenging nutrients and in return, utilizes carbohydrates produced by the plant (Allen 1991, Harley & Smith 1983). |
