Mycorrhiza – Fungal-Root Symbiotic Relationships and Ecological Importance
Explores mycorrhizal symbiosis between fungi and plant roots (>90% plant species), mutualistic benefits, two main types (endomycorrhiza/arbuscular and ectomycorrhiza), nutrient and water acquisition mechanisms, soil health improvement, nutrient cycling, drought tolerance, and the “wood wide web” for inter-plant communication.
