Abstract

Fertilization, a worldwide used standard method to enhance crop yield, is one of the main anthropogenic sources of Cd accumulation in agricultural soils. Forest expansion on impracticable agricultural land may help to stabilize the site and prevent the leaching of metals into the soil deeper layers. However, heavy metal contamination may be an obstacle for plant development. The genetics of the planting material is currently recognized to have a strong influence in tree establishment in a given environment. Moreover, ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are known to form symbiotic associations with forest trees and their ability to influence metal uptake as well as their action as plant growth enhancers under several environmental constrains has been previously demonstrated. We have envisaged that the combination of tree genotype with selected ECM fungi could represent an important strategy for the forestation of Cd contaminated sites.
