“…Our results indicated that there is a significant difference in spore density and root colonization level in rhizosphere soil samples of different plants. It has been demonstrated that grassland degradation causes a decline in AM fungi community diversity of soil, leading to dramatic changes in both the structure of above-ground plant communities and the functioning of their below-ground ecosystem (Zhang et al 2011a;Cai et al 2014;Hiiesalu et al 2014;Li et al 2017). Gai et al (2006) also found that spore densities in the normal grassland were much higher than the degraded grasslands.…”

In order to explore the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in the rhizosphere of poisonous plants on the neighboring pasture grasses in the Tibetan Plateau Alpine meadow ecosystem, rhizosphere soils were collected from eight different poisonous plants in degraded grasslands and one from pasture grass in non-degraded grasslands (CK). The collected soils were used as inocula to assess the influence of indigenous AM fungi on the growth of two typical pasture grass species, Elymus nutans and Poa pratensis, in a bioassay experiment. Five growth parameters and two AM parameters were determined. The mycorrhizal responsiveness and the importance value were calculated. Significant differences between the eight poisonous plants and CK were observed. Compared to CK, rhizosphere soil from the eight poisonous plants had lower AM fungal spore densities. The growth of E. nutans and P. pratensis seedlings was depressed with the inoculation from poisonous plants rhizosphere soil. This study demonstrated that the presence of poisonous plants with grassland degradation altered inherent AM fungal community abundance, and could exert inhibition effects on the growth of pasture grasses. It may attribute to discover the important role of rhizosphere soil of different poisonous plants to AM fungal community on the Alpine meadow.

“…There was obtained positive correlation between endomycorrhiza abundance and vegetation biomass ( Figure 3C). Many researches showed that mycorrhiza inoculation could assist plant growth, and finally increase their biomass production by plants, mainly in degraded lands (Alguacil et al 2004, Zhang et al 2011. Ability of mycorrhiza to survive at extreme condition and to associate with plants gives benefit for plant growth, particularly in the supply of essential elements, both of macro and micro elements for plants to survive in extreme condition and produce more biomass as organic matter supply (Quilambo 2003) The low content of exchangeable cations (Fe, Ca, K, and Mg) and the low soil pH (Figure 2 and Table 1) resulted on negative impact on the environment for plant growth.…”

Eruption of Merapi volcano caused accumulation of lahar materials that led to extensive land degradation. This research was to study the population of pioneer plants and their correlation with endomycorrhiza population at different land qualities after Merapi eruption. Samples of soil, pioneer plants, and endomycorrhiza were collected from Merapi volcano, 1 year after eruption, using stratified sampling method based on plant densities, with the following categories: dense vegetation, moderately dense vegetation, sparse vegetation, and control (bare land), with 3 replications for each category. Pioneer plants and endomycorrhiza were identified. Plant biomass, soil pH, total-C,-N, and exchangeable-K,-Ca,-Mg,-Fe were analyzed. The abundance of pioneer plants and their interaction with mycorrhiza was strongly correlated with depth of eruption material, quantity of sandy texture, soil pH, total-C and total-N, exchangeable-K, exchangeable-Ca, exchangeable-Mg, and exchangeable-Fe. Among the 12 identified pioneer plants, only Acacia villosa, Fiurena ciliaris, and Bidens pilosa were recommended as plantremediator to improve soil chemical, physical and biological properties. Among the 3 genera of endomycorrhiza (Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Glomus), only Acaulospora was recommended to be a biological agent to rehabilitate sandy soil area. This research indicated that adaptive pioneer plants and endomycorrhiza were likely to be suitable for biological agents to stimulate recovery of degraded land through improvement of physical, chemical, and biological properties, that will stimulate plant growth and biodiversity.

In order to control the impacts of blown sand in salty desert, in this article, the amphoteric emulsion, for the first time, was applied as an ecological sand-fixing material. This study started from the synthesis of the poly{vinyl acetate-dibutyl maleate-acryl-Then, the structures, composition, thermal property of the emulsion were characterized by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, and DSC, respectively.The basic properties of the emulsion and salt tolerance of the latex films were measured by using viscometer, dynamic light scattering, and laser Doppler electrophoresis also. And the sand-fixing properties of the emulsion were evaluated. Finally, the influence of the emulsion on the growth of soil microbe and plants were discussed for understanding its ecological effect. The experimental results showed that the emulsion has been successfully synthesized and could be as an ecological sand-fixing material. The related reason is that, first, the emulsion could significantly improve the compressive strength and water retaining; second, the emulsion had good thermal aging, freeze-thaw stabilities and salt tolerance to withstand the changes in temperature and NaCl concentration of salty desert; third, the influence of the emulsion on the growth of plants and microbe of sand also showed a dependable ecological effect.
