Abstract

We studied recovery of the ectomycorrhizal species Cenococcum geophilum (Cg) after urea treatment in two types of vegetation. The recovery was as quick as 6 months after the treatment and overlapped the fruiting period of ectomycorrhizal ammonia fungi. Ectomycorrhizas investigated as Cg belonged to a single species irrespective of treatment and vegetation type. Cg ectomycorrhizas were significantly more abundant in density in nontreated soil than in treated soil. Between vegetation types, Cg ectomycorrhizas were significantly more in density in broad-leaved deciduous forest than in broad-leaved evergreen forest. Moreover, Cg was dominant in the nontreated soils of the former type of forest.
