GROWTH-RESPONSE OF ECTOMYCORRHIZAL NORWAY SPRUCE SEEDLINGS TRANSPLANTED ON LEAD - POLLUTED SOIL

Growth response, photosynthetic activity, photosynthetic pigments cont ent-and the content of P,Ca and K were followed in 3 years old mycorrh ized and noninoculated spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings afte r transplantation on lead-polluted soil. Measured parameters showed th at the advantages of nursery inoculation with the fungi Pisolithus tin ctorius and Lactarius piperatus did not change in the year and a half after transplantation. In contrast, we can already say that spruce see dlings inoculated with Laccaria laccata are not suitable for the refor estation of lead polluted areas.
