Field inoculation of American beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) with V-A mycorrhizal fungi

Ammophila breviligulata is the major species planted along the Mid- and North Atlantic Coast of the US to stabilize maritime dunes. Field inoculation with native species of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF) in a Massachusetts sand dune resulted in improved establishment, more vigorous ea...
