two different seasons throughout 2 sites from two different tree species. Once the samples were gathered they randomly sampled nine ECM fungal root tips and nine non-ECM fungal root tips per core sample. The root samples were looked at for acid phosphatase and luciene aminopeptidase activity. They then tested the root samples and later‚ in spring 2013‚ tested the soil health at all locations where the root samples were taken from. Then from there they analyzed the data
