✦ Synopsis

There is a large body of literature concerning the value of mycorrhiza to plant growth. Recent emphasis on the potential benefits of the fungi to natural ecosystems conservation and productive agriculture has focused attention on the roles and underlying mechanisms of the association. In parallel, recognition that isolates/ species of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have variable life-history traits has resulted in investigations focused on the symbiotic fungi rather than the host, a perspective which may reflect the fungal evolutionary strategies. This paper discusses progress in understanding interactions amongst hyphae, which in one form or another are a major component of mycorrhiza and each phase of the life-history.

Grazing an abandoned salt marsh causes retrogressive succession, since mid salt-marsh communities change into lower salt-marsh communities. Grazing and mowing are compared in detail. Both management practices enhance species diversity in an abandoned salt marsh. This can be attributed to the removal

The ability of several sand dune-inhabiting plant species to successfully colonize dune sites appears to depend upon the presence in the soil of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that form mutualistic associations with roots. Dune sites barren of vegetation lack these fungi whose large spores are n

Although an intuitive notion of community complexity is well established in ecological theory, its quantitative definition in other than just surrogate terms continues to elude the practitioners of the art. We examine the notion in its broad sense and develop a new measure based on the average lengt
