Chapter 29.4, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
A technique or a strategy for tree harvest that helps in maintaining the reforestation of trees and also cuts down its cost by retaining the viable mycorrhizal communities.
Introduction:
Mycorrhiza is the mutualistic association formed between a tree and the
The presence of mycorrhiza is nearly universal in the plant kingdom as they play a key role in providing essential micronutrients from the soil to the plant. There are two types of mycorrhiza, ectomycorrhizal and endomycorrhiza.

Given your knowledge about the plants, and considering the three main pillars of sustainability (environmental quality, economic vitality, and social justice), discuss important considerations for ensuring that coffee and chocolate production can be sustainable for the present and into the future. What are some of the most important considerations? Propose some specific recommendations to increase the sustainability of our relationships with these plant species.

- Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have so few rhizobial nodules on their roots? When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.arrow_forwardDoes the trade-off between growth and defense favor a single species that dominates in all soil types or different species specialized for each habitat?arrow_forwardIf it were possible to increase nitrogen transport from rhizobia in root nodules to any part of soybean plants, what implications would this have for agriculture and food?arrow_forward
