CAN FUNGI HELP TO RESTORE HABITATS?

-

Yes. Habitats such as heathland, tundra and boreal forest can be restored with the assistance of mycorrhiza­l fungi. Many are specific to a plant type. Some are known to colonise the root cells of heathers, blueberrie­s and cranberrie­s, and can help these heathland species to become establishe­d, flourish and be more resilient to environmen­tal stress.
