“…et al, 2018). ECM fungi play a determinant role in the absorption of nutrients and water by plants through establishing mutualistic interactions with plant roots (Becquer et al, 2018; Clasen et al, 2018). Saprophytic fungi are mainly responsible for the decomposition of complex organic matter and conversion of nutrients (Talbot et al, 2013; Nagati et al, 2018).…”

Forest plants are in constant contact with the soil fungal community, which plays an important role in the circulation of nutrients through forest ecosystems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the fungal diversity in soil and elucidate the ecological role of functional fungal communities in forest ecosystems using soil samples from seven different plantations in northeastern China. Our results showed that the fungal communities were dominated by the phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mortierellomycota, and the mixed plantation of Fraxinus mandshurica and Pinus koraiensis had a soil fungal population clearly divergent from those in the other plantations. Additionally, the mixed plantation of F. mandshurica and P. koraiensis , which was low in soil nutrients, contained a highly diverse and abundant population of ectomycorrhizal fungi, whereas saprophytic fungi were more abundant in plantations with high soil nutrients. Redundancy analysis demonstrated a strong correlation between saprophytic fungi and the level of soil nutrients, whereas ectomycorrhizal fungi were mainly distributed in soils with low nutrient. Our findings provide insights into the importance of functional fungi and the mediation of soil nutrients in mixed plantations and reveal the effect of biodiversity on temperate forests.

“…Typically, in a terrestrial ecosystem, different mycorrhizal symbiotic links develop between plants and fungi in an extensive range (Finlay, 2008). These symbiotic associations are abundant and occur in 75 to 80% plants (Clasen et al, 2018). Mycorrhizal association plays very important role in ecosystem which improves plants growth and existence through a mutualistic relationship (Kernaghan, 2005) as can be seen in Figure 1.…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal association is ubiquitous and can be found in majority of natural habitats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a key role in the absorption of plant nutrients, soil aggregation and fertility. The basic role of AMF in the plant growth is to increase the absorption and translocation of relatively immobile ions and elements. In the past, studies have focused primarily on the mycorrhiza development and their general role in the growth of plants. Here, in this review manuscript, we highlight the role of AMF in the growth of old forests. In many studies, it has been found that concentration of phosphorous (P) decreases with the stand age which as a result leads to phosphorous (P) deficiency. This phosphorous (P) deficiency is considered as a cause of slow growth of old forests. In this review article, we argued that apart from the low concentration of phosphorous (P), weak arbuscular mycorrhizal associations are also a cause of slow growth of old forests. Furthermore, we also highlight the ecological role of AMF in the soil carbon storage. AMF provide physical (hyphae frame) and chemical support (Glomalin) to the dispersed soil particles to create stable aggregated soil structure. The Glomalin compound which is released by AMF acts like a glue and consequently increases soil aggregation. The soil organic matters stored in soil aggregates are less exposed to decomposition. Hence, soil can be used as a large sink where a huge amount of carbon can be stored in the form of soil organic matters which as a result can contribute to the mitigation of global climate change.

“…Ectomycorrhizal morphotypes of C. pakistanicus were collected by tracing method and identified through its rDNA-ITS sequence following Landeweert et al (2003) and characterized by morphotyping method (Agerer, 1991;Agerer, 1987Agerer, -2002Mello et al, 2006). Clasen et al (2018) reported that molecular tools based on sequencing of rDNA-ITS could be effective in species characterization and phylogenetic analysis. Their ectomycorrhizae have dichotomous ectomycorrhizal systems with bent unramified ends (reddish brown when young and blackish brown when old).…”

The ectomycorrhizae of a newly described club fungus Clavariadelphus pakistanicus were collected from Ayubia, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and described morpho-anatomically. Its Pinus wallichiana associated ectomycorrhizae has been characterized by dichotomously branched, reddish brown color of mature and dark brown to blackish young ectomycorrhizal tips with frequent unbranched and septate emanating hyphae. During molecular and phylogenetic analyses, these mycobionts showed maximum similarity and were clustered with basidiocarps sequences of C. pakistanicus. Hence it was confirmed that these ectomycorrhizae belong to C. pakistanicus and being first time reported from Pakistan. Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 29(1): 129-136, 2022 (June)
