Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae of Western Redcedar in Container Nurseries and on Field Sites After Slash Burning
Container-grown western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) was virtually nonmycorrhizal when lifted from both Koksilah and MacBean Nurseries on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. After one growing season in the field on a variety of sites, most plants were colonized by fine and/or coarse vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. Increased intensity of slash-burn produced a trend toward increased colonization by fine VAM and decreased colonization by coarse VAM fungi. Tree Planters' Notes 44(1):33-37; 1993.
