| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Forest trees depend on mycorrhizal fungi for soil nutrients, which virtually determine tree growth. Thus, we need knowledge about mycorrhizal fungi to realize sustainable forestry. In this study, we investigated mycorrhizal fungi in mixed dipterocarp forests and Sumatran pine forests in Indonesia. In both types of forests, mycorrhizal fungal communities colonizing on mature trees were quite different from the communities of dormant spores in soil. Mycorrhizal fungi found in the Sumatran pine forests were quite different from those of dipterocarp forests, sharing very few species between the forests.
