Abstract: Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic,symbiotic bio-trophy between a fungus (mycobiont) and plant host.The ecological functions of mycorrhiza in restoration of degraded soil have been concerned.These ecological functions can be described as promoting the succession of plant community and the restoration of plant flora,sustaining of community stability and improving soil structure.The paper suggests that mycorrhiza inoculation in degraded soil,planting mycorrhiza independent plants and conserving plant bio-diversity are major approaches to utilize mycorrhiza to restore degraded soil in primary stage.

Key words: Erythrophleum fordii plantations, stand age, carbon content, carbon storage, allocation.
