ABSTRACT INVESTIGATIONS based on chemical analyses have indicated that the absorption of phosphorus by pine seedlings is increased by the presence of ectotrophic mycorrhizas1. Harley _et
al._ 2 have shown, however, that when labelled phosphorus is supplied to excised roots of beech the presence of a mycorrhizal sheath presents a partial barrier to phosphorus uptake by the
tissues of the root. This communication reports the result of an experiment in which phosphorus-32 was used to indicate how far the mycorrhizal habit influences the uptake of phosphorus by
intact plants of _Nothofagus menziesii_ (mycorrhizas ectotrophic, typical of the Fagaceae) and _Pinus radiata_. The presence of mycorrhizas had no apparent effect on the rate of growth of
these two species under the conditions employed in the experiment. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
