4.4 Concluding Remarks
The examination of the effects of ectomycorrhizal fungi on forest ecosystems has belatedly started in vitro. The existing theories on the functions of forests and trees, which were established by focusing on the aboveground part, need to be reexamined in vivo by taking into consideration the new concept of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis in the rhizosphere.
