Mycorrhizal Preferences And Fine Spatial Structure Of The Epiphytic Orchid Epidendrum Rhopalostele

Premise of the study: The presence of compatible fungi is necessary for epiphytic orchid recruitment. Thus, identifying associated mycorrhizal fungi at the population level is essential for orchid conservation. Recruitment patterns may also be conditioned by factors such as seed dispersal range and...
