| Notes | Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants. These fungi give host plants many benefits, including increased salt tolerance, increased drought tolerance, and resistance to pathogens. For these reasons, they are potentially powerful tools in marsh restoration projects. In this interesting Master’s thesis, the author sought “to assess the presence and colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Distichlis spicata from three formerly diked areas of the Salmon River Estuary to determine an initial understanding of the mycorrhizal community in tidal wetlands post-restoration” (from the Abstract).
