This study evaluates the influence of artificial ectomycorrhizal inoculation on the growth of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) seedlings in relation to the soil nutrient content. 1.5 years after planting, 30 inoculated seedlings and 30 control seedlings were sampled. The sampled seedlings’ growth and mycorrhizal characteristics were evaluated. Mixed soil samples were taken from both plots (inoculated × control) for determination of pH values and the content of biogenic, trace and selected metal elements. Inoculated seedlings showed a statistically significant lower density of active and nonactive mycorrhizae and proportion of active mycorrhizae. The differences in a height of aboveground parts, root collar diameter and weight of aboveground matter of the seedlings were not statistically significant. Experimental plots differed in a nutrient concentration in the soil, especially concentration of available phosphorus on treated plots were higher in comparison with control plots (557% compared to the control). Therefore, a failure of the inoculation in this study could be caused just by a higher content of available phosphorus in the soil in the area with inoculated seedlings.
