note = "Although agriculture focuses on row crops in the Midwestern US, chestnut (Castanea) would be a possible multipurpose agroforestry crop in erodible locations within this region. As ectomycorrhizal (ECM) colonization is often crucial for tree establishment and production, we addressed the importance of ECM colonization on chestnut performance by assessing: (1) natural ECM colonization in an established chestnut orchard, and (2) the effect of ECM inoculation on seedling establishment and drought response in a greenhouse.",
