Investigating the ectomycorrhizal appearance of seedlings in tan phu forest enterprise’s nursery, Dong Nai province

Abstract

In the scope of Project “Emphasize natural forest patrimony of Dong Nai Province - Management and Enrichment of Tan Phu forest”, we investigated the ectomycorrhizal appearance of seedlings in Tan Phu forest enterprise’s nursery which will be mainly used to reforest in Dong Nai province. Randomly choosing and morphology analyzing 45 seedlings of 9 species of Dipterocarpaceae and Fabaceae show that 8 of 9 species have ectomycorrhiza. Only seedlings of Dalbergia bariensis Pierre in the nursery are not ectomycorrhizal but nodulate. This research helps to evaluate the adaptive ability of seedlings in nursery to the field conditions when they are planted in Tan Phu forest enterprise.
