Question

Plants growing in oligotrophic forest soils usually have

• A. Mycorrhiza
• B. Slow growth
• C. Reduced growth
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mycorrhiza

Plant adaptations to oligotrophic soils provide for greater and more efficient nutrient uptake, reduced nutrient consumption, and efficient nutrient uptake reduced nutrient consumption and efficient nutrient storage. Improvements in nutrient uptake are facilitated by root adaptations such as nitrogen-fixing root nodules, mycorrhiza, and cluster roots.

So, option A is the correct option.
