The loss of forest cover results in ecosystem imbalance. As a result of deterioration of the biosphere, soil degradation, over exploitation of forests and population explosion accelerates the rate of deforestation and affects climate. Thus role of forestation in the sustainable development of the ecosystem holds greater promise. In this regard Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi as beneficial symbionts of forest plants not only help in the establishment of forest seedlings but also help in their growth, besides increasing soil fertility and stability, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Abrief review on this aspect has been presented. |
