The biology of mycorrhizas (contributed by Diane Howarth, 2001)

The purpose of this website is to provide an overview of the biology of mycorrhizas, aimed at the undergraduate level. However, it should also be straightforward enough and not too technical to attract the non-academic/casual browsers.

This website was produced, in 2001, by Diane Howarth as the final year project for an Environmental Biology degree at the University of Manchester. The project was supervised by Dr David Moore and he revised and updated the content in 2011. CLICK HERE for the most up-to-date information

• Introduction to mycorrhizas;
• Mycorrhizal types;
