The mine-degraded lands initially lack viable mycorrhizal fungal population, and thus, the establishment of a vegetative community will be delayed. Mycorrhiza inoculation can enhance productivity of degraded land by increasing drought tolerance of plants and phosphorus availability, which are the main two limiting factors for plant establishment.
