Use of Mycorrhizal Fungi for Forest Plantations and Minesite Rehabilitation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mycorrhizal Fungi: Use in Sustainable Agriculture and Land Restoration

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 41))

Abstract

Mycorrhizal fungi are integrated components of sustainable ecosystem with the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi being the two most prominent and ecologically crucial mutualistic associations in terrestrial habitats. Areas for new plantations and minesites are often characterised with absence or low diversity, and/or incompatibility of mycorrhizal inoculants in the soil, which is considered as an essential constraint limiting the establishment of plantations and vegetation. The introduction of effective mycorrhizal fungi to the new sites is recommended along with the plant species involved in plantation and revegetation programmes. Inoculation of seedlings in plantation nursery is logistically feasible. Currently, many nurseries preferably use spore inoculants of ECM fungi although several different kinds of inoculants are adopted in forest practices. This chapter presents an overview of the development and application of mycorrhizal technology for forest plantations and minesite rehabilitation. Sources of inoculants, mycorrhizal formation, host specificity and inoculation effectiveness are discussed.
