Ekologiczne aspekty współżycia roślin z grzybami

Mycorrhiza is one of the most common forms of symbiotic association between plants and fungi occurring in nature. It is formed by hyphae of a fungus with the roots of a plant. Such symbiotic associations are currently estimated to occur in approximately 75% of trees. The presented study is an attempt to enlighten multifaceted ecological aspects of the symbiosis between plants and fungi with special consideration given to the favourable effect of a fungus on the health condition and growth of a plant.
