Nutrient Exchange within Forest Ecosystems and Characterization of Mycorrhizal Diversity

Author(s) G. Ganesh
Country India
Abstract Forest ecosystems are sustained by complex belowground interactions that regulate nutrient cycling, plant productivity, and ecosystem stability. Among these interactions, mycorrhizal fungi form extensive symbiotic networks with plant roots, facilitating nutrient exchange and plant communication. The present study investigates the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi and examines the functional role of mycorrhizal networks in nutrient exchange within forest ecosystems. Field surveys were conducted across representative forest sites, and soil and root samples were collected for analysis. Mycorrhizal communities were characterized using molecular techniques, including DNA sequencing, to accurately identify and classify fungal taxa. The results revealed high mycorrhizal diversity and strong associations between fungi and host plant species. Increased mycorrhizal colonization was positively correlated with enhanced nitrogen and phosphorus uptake. The findings highlight the ecological significance of mycorrhizal networks in maintaining forest health, nutrient dynamics, and ecosystem resilience.
