Diversity Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi And Mycorrhizal Plant Status At Agroforestry Sites Of Gunung Walat Educational Forest

Abstract

Gunung Walat is an educational forest managed by Faculty of Forestry Bogor Agricultural University. The forest was bothered by farmers who live around the forest since 1997 due to Indonesian economic crises. Consequently, the forest became degraded. It is not easy to rehabilitate the degraded sttes for several major constrains related to existing unfavorable environmental conditions at the degraded sites. Edaphic factors ([ow nutrients, acidic soits), climatic factors (high lwel of solar radiation and high temperatures) and biological factm and low soil microbial activiti-) are some of these led to reduced performance of planted tree.
