Abstract

Research has been conducted on the interactions among Spartina patens and the sediment microbial populations during the growing season. The analysis of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi has been carried out and the results indicate that the fungi increase the nutrient supply to the host plant and affect soil microbial populations.
