One-quarter green cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine, over tan cloth lettered in black on the front cover, color pictorial dust jacket, lettered in green on the spine and in white on the front cover, lg 8vo. Ectomycorrhizae (abbreviated EcM) is a form of symbiotic relationship that occurs between a fungal symbiont, or mycobiont, and the roots of various plant species. The mycobiont is often from the phyla Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, and more rarely from the Zygomycota. Ectomycorrhizas form on the roots of around 2% of plant species, usually woody plants, including species from the birch, dipterocarp, myrtle, beech, willow, pine and rose families. Research on ectomycorrhizas is increasingly important in areas such as ecosystem management and restoration, forestry and agriculture (from Wiki). This work surveys…
