Popis: Aims Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi and other ericaceous root symbionts do not completely degrade lignin, therefore the presence of lignin in organic residues may present a barrier to nutrient uptake by ericaceous plants. Due to specialization of ErM and saprotrophic, lignin-degrading fungi in litter decomposition and nutrient mobilization, we hypothesized that the presence of both types of fungi may exert a synergism in the proximity of plant detritus, thereby increasing the growth of plants over those grown with only one type or no added fungi.
