“…Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are responsible for establishing mycorrhizal symbioses with most vascular plants in all environments, including semiarid ecosystems, where AMF help plants to cope with nutrient deficiency, drought, salinity, and other stresses (6). There are case studies on the general abiotic versus biotic effectors of AMF community assembly (7,8).…”

Patterns in plant-soil biota interactions could be influenced by the spatial distribution of species due to soil conditions or by the functional traits of species. Gypsum environments usually constitute a mosaic of heterogeneous soils where gypsum and nongypsum soils are imbricated at a local scale. A case study of the interactions of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in gypsum environments can be illustrative of patterns in biotic interactions. We hypothesized that (i) soil characteristics might affect the AMF community and (ii) there are differences between the AMF communities (modules) associated with plants exclusive to gypsum soils (gypsophytes) and those associated with plants that show facultative behavior on gypsum and/or marlylimestone soils (gypsovags). We used indicator species and network analyses to test for differences between the AMF communities harbored in gypsophyte and gypsovag plants. We recorded 46 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to nine genera of Glomeromycota. The indicator species analysis showed two OTUs preferentially associating with gypsum soils and three OTUs preferentially associating with marly-limestone soils. Modularity analysis revealed that soil type can be a major factor shaping AMF communities, and some AMF groups showed a tendency to interact differently with plants that had distinct ecological strategies (gypsophytes and gypsovags). Characterization of ecological networks can be a valuable tool for ascertaining the potential influence of above-and below-ground biotic interactions (plant-AMF) on plant community composition.

“…The results reported here should also be considered with respect to revegetation programs, as AMF inocula may help to establish plants, especially in arid and semi-arid ecosystems (Requena et al 1996;Azcón-Aguilar et al 2003). These and other studies underline the importance of selecting appropriate fungal ecotypes, preferentially originating from the natural surroundings of the targeted application site, for producing adapted inocula for AMF-assisted revegetation programs (Barea et al 2011). …”
