• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the links between mycorrhizas in the aquatic and riparian ecosystems, presenting research that points to the important role of arbuscular mycorrhizal in these environments. The volume seeks to spur further development of links for understanding AM function in the different soil systems, both in natural and restored ecosystems..
