Mycorrhizal relations in trees for agroforestry and land rehabilitation
Kurt Haselwandter,G.D. Bowen +1 more
TLDR
Large responses may be obtained frequently by inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi selected for high efficiency or by management to increase populations of indigenous fungi where these are highly effective but low in number.About:

The contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in sustainable maintenance of plant health and soil fertility
TL;DR: This review discusses the mechanism by which benefits are conferred through abiotic and biotic interactions in the rhizosphere of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and has had an impact in landscape regeneration, horticulture, alleviation of desertification and in the bioremediation of contaminated soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of heavy metal pollution on mycorrhizal colonization and function: physiological, ecological and applied aspects
TL;DR: This review discusses various aspects of the interactions between heavy metals and mycorrhizal fungi, including the effects of heavy metals on the occurrence of mycor RH fungi, heavy metal tolerance in these micro-organisms, and their effect on metal uptake and transfer to plants.

Prospects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils
Atimanav Gaur,Alok Adholeya +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the potential of AM fungi for enhancing phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils and isolation of the indigenous and presumably stress- adapted AM fungi can be a potential biotechnological tool for inoculation of plants for successful restoration of degraded ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The apparent paradox of reestablishing species richness on degraded lands with tree monocultures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that reestablishment of tree species richness on degraded sites with arrested succession could be facilitated through plantings of tree monocultures. But, the authors do not consider the effects of such monocultural plantations on the ecology of the plantations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Populations in Heavy-Metal-Contaminated Soils
TL;DR: It is concluded that size and diversity of AMF populations were modified in metal-polluted soils, even in those with metal concentrations that were below the upper limits accepted by the European Union for agricultural soils.

Mycorrhizas in ecosystems
TL;DR: It is concluded that knowledge of the full range of functions of each mycorrhizal type is essential for an understanding of the distribution and dynamics of the ecosystem in which it predominates.

Global extent, development and economic impact of acid soils
H. R. von Uexküll,E. W. Mutert +1 more
TL;DR: Acid soils occupy approximately 30% or 3950 m ha of the world's ice free land area and occur mainly in two global belts where they have developed under udic or ustic moisture regimes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review on the role of mycorrhizal fungi in the uptake of phosphorus by plants
TL;DR: Mycorrhizal plants have been shown to increase the uptake of poorly soluble P sources, such as iron and aluminium phosphate and rock phosphates, however, studies in which the soil P has been labelled with radioactive 32P indicated that both mycor rhizal and non-mycorrhIZal plants utilized the similarly labelled P sources in soil.

Tansley Review No. 76 Helper bacteria: a new dimension to the mycorrhizal symbiosis
TL;DR: A number of fundamental questions which remain unanswered about mycorrhization helper bacteria are pointed out and some investigation priorities are suggested in this new field of myCorrhiza research.
