Zusammenfassung:	The use of container-grown seedlings on reclamation sites presents an ideal opportunity for introducing selected Frankia and VAM symbionts, shown to improve seedling performance following outplanting. In 1991, different combinations of genetically-characterized Frankia spp and Glomus spp strains were inoculated on A. cordata seedlings in the nursery. A field trial was then made to determine if inoculated A. cordata plants would outperform uninoculated ones in soils lacking Frankia and mycorrhizal inocula, and if inoculation benefits would persist for a long time.
