How Do Fungi in the Soil of Rain Forests Encourage

Question

How do fungi in the soil of rain forests encourage plant diversity?
A)By serving as pathogens for particular plant species, fungi favor the establishment of less-common plant species.
B)By serving as pollinators, fungi introduce plant diversity into new regions.
C)By forming mycorrizhae with plants, fungi introduce plant diversity into new regions.

Accepted Answer

Fungi in the soil can act as pathogens to certain plant species, which can prevent those species from becoming overly dominant, thus allowing less-common species to establish and maintain plant diversity.
