Mycorrhizae in six native wetland plants
A study connects native plant roots with vegetation restoration.
Study published:
Roots under the microscope
Mycorrhizal colonization of six native plant species was examined in five western Oregon wetland prairies with different land use histories. [1]
The symbiosis was present
All species developed mycorrhizal colonization. Average values ranged from 58% to 92%, without a relationship to subjective rankings of previous land use intensity. [1]
An educational connection
At our Center, we want plant identification connected with observing roots. The paper prompts educational records of native vegetation, with each sample clearly linked to its location and history.
Presentation context
The summary draws on the published abstract for the particular species and sites. The educational connection is our own.
