mycorrhizal interactions of orchids colonizing estonian mine tailings hills. | northeastern estonia is home to extensive oil shale mines. associated with these are desolate and environmentally damaging hills of ash and semicoke tailings. interestingly, some of the first plants to colonize these hills are rare orchids. here, we assess the identities of the mycorrhizal fungi associated with these orchids, in particular epipactis atrorubens, orchis militaris, and dactylorhiza baltica, and compare them with mycorrhizal fungi from orchids from pristine habitat. epipactis atroru ... | 2008 | 21632341 |
