Abstract

Building a creation model of ecology is a worthwhile endeavor. An important ecological relationship is the understanding of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) which are complex symbioses between plants and fungi. Understanding these relationships has implications in origins issues, taxonomy, post-Flood diversification, and land stewardship. A working knowledge of the plant/fungus system has potential for how God's people can exercise a biblical ethic of environment because as we unravel their intricacies they demonstrate incredible design. As we seek to discover the intent of the Designer, we can enhance our stewardship of the land by using this symbiosis to re-establish polluted and disturbed landscapes and grow sustainable crops.
