	note = {Fungi are omnipresent and frequently beneficial in ecosystems. Fungi are dependent on plants for their nourishment. An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus is one that derives carbon nutrition from the roots of an associated plant. This association is beneficial to the plant because the plant can experience increased uptake of nutrients and an increased ability to withstand saltwater inundation. In an age of rising sea levels, the ability to withstand inundation is important. This poster describes research conducted by Portland State University faculty and students on two marshes in the Salmon River estuary, a low marsh and a high marsh.  Natural resource managers need to know which plants will be able to withstand saline stress and have better chances of success with marsh restoration projects and in mitigation of rising sea levels. The researchers want to know which plant species host arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and what the pattern of their distribution is across the low and high marshes.},
