Mycorrhizal Colonization. All plants were colonized with mycorrhizal fungi regazdless of <br />treatment with one exception (Tables B-4 and 5). These plants were both nursery inoculated and <br />exposed to inoculum in the soil. Neither treatment appears to affect the ability of plants to <br />maintain mycotrhizae. Survival is not limited by mycorrhizal colonization. <br />Table B-4.
