This book
- Provides crucial knowledge for anyone interested in mycorrhizas
- Beautifully illustrated with colour illustrations, photographs and scanning electron micrographs
Symbiotic relations between roots and fungi (mycorrhizas) are the most prevalent symbiotic systems
on earth. For example, mycorrhizas increase nutrient uptake from soil, assist in the biocontrol of pathogenic
fungi and nematodes, and have a positive effect on the establishment of plant communities. Mycorrhizal
associations can be found in all ecosystems and in important forest and crop species. This book provides
a summary of all the mycorrhizal categories from a morphological and anatomical perspective.
Readership: Plant and soil science, forestry and mycology
