Mycorrhizae increase growth and nutrient acquisition in orchids. I study which factors affect mycorrhizal infestation. I organized three experiments: the first used wild orchids assumed to already be colonized by mycorrhizae and tested how receiving a nutrient solution that emphasized phosphorus affected mycorrhizae abundance. The second tested this same hypothesis with the exception that plants were initially devoid of mycorrhizae. It also tested how adept plants with and without mycorrhizae were at absorbing heavy metals such as copper and manganese from the soil to determine mycorrhizae’s remediation abilities. The third experiment focused on how age differences of plants affected mycorrhizae abundance. Roots were stained with Trypan Blu...
