- Abstract
The article examines the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on uranium accumulation by barley plants from a field-contaminated soil collected from a closed U mining site in Shangrao County, Jiangxi Province, China. The soil was passed through a two mm sieve, partially sterilized and amended with basal nutrients without phosphorus (P). Further, shoots and roots of barley plants were harvested separately. P concentrations in both shoots and roots of barley plants were markedly influenced by mycorrhizal inoculation and P application. Plant P concentrations increased with increasing P additions, and also increased substantially by mycorrhizal colonization.
