Ecologists often attempt to introduce new plants to restore degraded land. In an arid climate, scientists recommend introducing plants with arbuscular mycorrhizae. How would the mycorrhizae increase the plants’ survival compared to plants without mycorrhizae?
There are some plants such as Indian pipe and orchids that do not have chlorophyll, yet they are connected to the mycorrhizal web. What would you suspect their relationship to be?
How are mycorrhizae and root nodules similar? How are they different?
Biologists have discovered that many mycorrhizal fungi are sensitive to a low pH. What human-caused environmental problem may prove catastrophic for these fungi? How may this problem affect their plant partners? What measures could we take to decrease the problem?
