Textbook Question
Chapter 37, Problem 7TYU
The greatest difference in health between two groups of plants of the same species, one group with mycorrhizae and one group without mycorrhizae, would be in an environment
- (A) where nitrogen-fixing bacteria are abundant.
- (B) that has soil with poor drainage.
- (C) that has hot summers and cold winters.
- (D) in which the soil is relatively deficient in mineral nutrients.

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?
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?
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?
