Research Highlights
Forest Service Scientists Help Turkish Foresters Cultivate Truffle Species
Year: 2013
Forest Service scientists provided training to Turkish Ministry of Forestry personnel in the importance of ectomycorrhizal fungi to forest productivity. They created a framework for assessment and monitoring of ectomycorrhizal truffle diversity in Turkish forests, in the hope of developing a commerc...
