Colonization: If time is not an issue, an inexpensive way to establish mycorrhizae in denuded soil is to allow mycorrhizal spores to colonize the site from adjacent undisturbed land. Nonmycorrhizal plant species (Table 1) could be established as a cover crop until spore colonization occurs. (This is an idea for a strategy which may have existing research which we have not discovered yet .
