T.A. Sizonenko, S.V. Zagirova Structure and Growth of Scots Pine Mycorhiza Root Tips in Coniferous Phytocenoses of Middle Taiga // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2011. No 4. С.61-67.

The growth and anatomical structure of Scots pine mycorhiza root tips were studied in coniferous communities in the middle taiga. Pine trees are characterized by the formation of mycorhiza roots with 12 subtypes of fungal covers, the occurrence frequency of which changes in the litter during a season. Mycorhiza roots are actively formed in mid-June-beginning of July. In the bilberry-sphagnum pine forest, the growth period of root tips in pine trees was somewhat shorter than that in the coniferous-deciduous stand.
