| Abstract: | Ectomycorrhizal synthesis on seedlings of Afzelia quanzensis was initiated in the greenhouse and in the field using basidiospores or soil inoculum originating from fungi associated with adult trees of A. quanzensis, Brachystegia microphylla, B. spiciformis, and Julbernardia globiflora. Of the spore inocula used, only a Pisolithus sp. associated with adult A. quanzensis formed mycorrhizae. Seedlings raised in contact with all soil inocula formed mycorrhizae; however, the mycorrhizal types formed differed between soil inoculum used in the greenhouse and soil inoculum directly used in the field. A. quanzensis has a low specificity for mycorrhizal association. The concepts of ectomycorrhizal succession are also applicable to African savanna ecosystems. |
