Mycorrhizal Fungi Of Aspen Forests: Natural Occurrence And Potential Applications, C.L. Cripps Jan 2001

Mycorrhizal Fungi Of Aspen Forests: Natural Occurrence And Potential Applications, C.L. Cripps

Aspen Bibliography

Native mycorrhizal fungi associated with aspen were surveyed on three soil types in the north-central Rocky Mountains. Selected isolates were tested for the ability to enhance aspen seedling growth in vitro. Over 50 species of ectomycorrhizal fungi occur with Populus tremuloides in this region, primarily basidiomycete fungi in the Agaricales. Almost one-third (30%) were ubiquitous with aspen and were found on all three soil types. Over one-third (37%) were restricted to the acidic, sandy soil of the smelter-impacted Butte-Anaconda area, revealing a subset of fungi that tolerate these conditions. Mycorrhizal fungi were screened for their ability to enhance aspen growth …
