Abstract:Arbuscular mycorrhizal and dark septate fungi are common plant symbionts, but their role in promoting host plant fitness depends on environmental variables. Particularly in wetland plants, these associations are less understood. We analysed the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate fungi (DSF) in the roots of Potentilla anserina (Rosaceae), an invasive species of Patagonia, widely distributed in wetlands. We tested three hypotheses: that fungi colonization varies according to soil moistur… Show more
