Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 30CTQ
Ecologists often attempt to introduce new plants to restore degraded land. In an arid climate, scientists recommend introducing plants with arbuscular mycorrhizae. How would the mycorrhizae increase the plants’ survival compared to plants without mycorrhizae?

How do mycorrhizae function as biofertilisers? Explain with example.
A group of researchers run an experiment to
determine the effect of mycorrhizae (a fungus)
on plant growth. The researchers set up three
experimental groups: A large amount of
mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 1
a smaller amount of mycorrhizae is applied to
the plants in group 2, and no mycorrhizae is
applied to the plants in group 3.
Which group(s) is/are the experimental
group(s)? More than one answer may be
correct. Select all that apply.
O Group 3
Group 2
Group 1
Endomycorrhiza of forest trees contributes to the efficient nutrient cycling in tropical forest ecosystems. Reason.
