Abstract

The objective was select for timber plantations, the interaction with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for both, agronomic and economic aspects, in order to get forest systems well adapted to the Caribbean Region. Four AMF genera (Glomus, Acaulospora, Scutellospora and Gigaspora) and 20 ecotypes were identified from the area of study, reflecting the high diversity present in tropical forest.
