Re: [ECOLOG-L] Salix follow up

Dear Colleagues, I just wished to follow up on Howies' comments with the interjection of mycorrhizas into the mix. Salix species have the ability to grow without mycorrhizas, with arbuscular mycorrhizas or with a unique set of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Arctic and alpine Salix seem most often to f
