“…However, AMF have an idiosyncratic response to soil conditions, and there is no consensus on their relative importance [ 7 ]. Several studies showed that soil pH is an important factor to determine AMF communities [ 8 , 9 ]. It was also reported that a higher level of phosphorus (P) limited the diversity of AMF [ 10 ]; but another study showed that soil texture, rather than pH or P, affects AMF composition in an agriculture soil [ 11 ].…”

“…Meanwhile, a large group of rhizophilic guilds function to reduce root pathogen infection and primarily benefit plants with fine roots prone to pathogen infections. Many essential factors can influence the life cycle of AMF, such as the species of host plants [16], light availability [64], temperature [65], rainfall [66], elevation [61], soil properties [67][68][69], and the plant community [70]. However, there is no major factor affecting AMF.…”

Aims: Our aim was to investigate how N addition affects arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) growth in Chinese fir plantations. Methods: A Chinese fir plantation was treated with four different N addition treatments for one and half years starting in April 2019. AMF colonization, hyphal length density, community composition, and soil properties were under measurement. Results: N addition caused inapparent effects on AMF colonization, hyphal length density, and functional guilds (rhizophilic, edaphophilic, and ancestral). The predominant AMF species in the soil was Septoglomus viscosum. N addition altered AMF community and some rare species (e.g., Entrophospora infrequens) disappeared with N addition. Conclusion: AMF community structure was more sensitive to short-time N deposition than the symbiotic relationship between AMF and host plants.

“…A recent study showed that the phylogenetic structure of AM fungi can be explained by plant functional traits ( López-García et al , 2017 ), which might also be phylogenetically structured ( Valverde-Barrantes et al , 2016 ; Xia et al , 2021 ). Furthermore, variations in the abiotic environment, such as soil fertility or pH, can also drive changes in the phylogenetic structure of AM fungal communities ( Liu et al , 2015 ; Davison et al , 2021 ; Li et al , 2021 ). Thus, a detailed analysis of the phylogenetic structure of plant and AM fungal communities might shed light on key aspects of these symbiotic relationships interacting with the abiotic environment.…”

Ecological drivers of fine-scale distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a semiarid Mediterranean scrubland

Background and Aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance the uptake of water and minerals to the plant hosts, alleviating plant stress. Therefore, AM fungal-plant interactions are particularly important in drylands and other stressful ecosystems. We aimed to determine the combined and independent effects of above- and belowground plant community attributes (i.e. diversity and composition), soil heterogeneity and spatial covariates on the spatial structure of the AM fungal communities in a semiarid Mediterranean scrubland. Furthermore, we evaluated how the phylogenetic relatedness of both plants and AM fungi shapes these symbiotic relationships. Methods We taxonomically and phylogenetically characterised the composition and diversity of AM fungal and plant communities in a dry Mediterranean scrubland, using DNA metabarcoding and spatially-explicit sampling design at the plant neighbourhood scale. Key Results The above- and belowground plant community attributes, soil physicochemical properties and spatial variables explained unique fractions of AM fungal diversity and composition. Mainly, variations in plant composition affected the AM fungal composition and diversity. Our results also showed that particular AM fungal taxa tended to be associated with closely related plant species, suggesting the existence of phylogenetic signal. Although soil texture, fertility and pH affected AM fungal community assembly, spatial factors had a greater influence on AM fungal community composition and diversity than soil physicochemical properties. Conclusions Our results highlight that the more easily accessible aboveground vegetation is a reliable indicator of the linkages between plant roots and AM fungi. We also emphasize the importance of soil physicochemical properties as well as belowground plant information, while accounting for the phylogenetic relationships of both plants and fungi since these factors improve our ability to predict the relationships between AM fungal and plant communities.
