Mycorrhizas in Ecosystems

Pp. xvi, 419; numerous text-figures (graphs, charts, diagrams).  Publisher’s original pictorial laminated boards (case-bound), lettered in brown on the spine and front cover, lg 8vo (9.75 x 7 inches).  In the natural world, the roots of most plants are infected by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza which play a central role in the capture of nutrients from the soil.  Most of our knowledge of the biology of mycorrhizal symbiosis come from studies in the laboratory or glasshouse.  This volume brings together a series of papers which place the major emphasis upon mycorrhizal function in nature.  This work presents revised contributions to the Third European Symposium on Mycorrhizas, held at the University of Sheffield on August 19-23, 1991.  No ownership marks and no signs of use.
