Mycorrhizal associations are a fundamental aspect of pine tree ecology and biology, playing a crucial role in nutrient uptake, stress resistance, and overall plant health. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research on mycorrhizal associations in pine species, highlighting the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi involved, and exploring the practical applications of these symbiotic relationships in forestry and conservation. We discuss the mechanisms of mycorrhizal interactions, the ecological significance of these associations, and the potential benefits of harnessing mycorrhizal fungi for sustainable forest management and reforestation efforts.
