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?
Fungi play a variety of roles in the ecosystem. Discuss briefly each of the following roles stated below. Give specific examples whenever possible.
1. Decomposers
2. Mycorrhizae
3. Lichen Symbiont
4. Endophyte
5. Plant Pathogen
What are mycorrhizae? Discuss the different types in detail and give two examples of fungi that form mycorrhizae with economically important plants.
