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...
