Inoculum potential of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in two Costa Rican soils with different vegetation covers

Creator:

Fischer, Christine R.

Abstract:

Mycorrhizae are important for plant growth, particularly in nutritionally poor soils. Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) are the primary form of mycorrhizae found in tropical plants, and their persistence in the soil as colonizing fungal propagules following deforestation cannot be directly measured. Utilizing the "most probable number" (MPN) method for estimating infective...

Occurrence of ectomycorrhizae on ericaceous and coniferous seedlings grown in soils from the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)

Abstract:

Seedlings of Gaultheria shallon, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Rhododendron macrophyllum and Tsuga heterophylla were grown together in the greenhouse in soils from three young managed Douglas-fir forests in the Oregon Coast Range. The main objectives were 1 )to evaluate the ability of ericaceous plants and overstory conifers to share compatible mycorrhizal fungi...
