Ecological study of introduction of ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculum under primary succession on coastal sand dunes.

Our results suggested that ectomycorrhizal fungi were survived with keeping activity in sand dune soils where host plants did not exist and far from the potential source area of the fungi inoculum. It is also suggested that wild mammals such as deer and mouse contribute to the dispersion of ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculum in this type of sites. The tripartite relationships between woody plants, mycorrhizal fungi and mammals would be important for regeneration of woody plants in coastal forest habitats.
