If a wide-spectrum fungicide that kills all fungal species were used extensively in a forest, what effects would you expect the treatment to have on the forest vegetation? If a wide-spectrum fungicide that kills all fungal species were used extensively in a forest, what effects would you expect the treatment to have on the forest vegetation? It would harm the few plants that benefit from mutualistic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi. It would greatly reduce the ability of most plants to take up water and minerals from soil. It would benefit plants by killing off fungal pathogens.

    Explanation:

    Mycorrhizal relationship is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants. While the plant provides the fungi with food, the fungi supply the plant with nutrients and water extracted from the soil.

    Hence, if a wide-spectrum fungicide is used in a forest and it kills all the fungi in the forest, it will affect all the plants that share beneficial relationship with fungi in the forest.
