Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi linked to the Madagascar tree species Uapaca bojeri and assess the impact of these fungi on the tree's growth and soil microbial diversity.
- Researchers identified 94 fungal sporophores from various genera, with Russula being the most frequently found ectomycorrhizal type, and discovered that U. bojeri relies on both ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
- Findings suggest that managing mycorrhizal relationships, particularly using the competitive Scleroderma Sc1 strain, could enhance the growth of U. bojeri in degraded areas by improving soil health and microbial activity.
