Elevated CO 2 and plant species richness impact arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore communities
• We enumerated arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal spore communities for 3 yr as part of a long-term CO 2 enrichment experiment at Cedar Creek, Minnesota, USA. Complete factorial combinations of two levels of CO 2 and N, and 16 perennial plant species grown in monoculture and 16-species polyculture were arranged in a splitplot design. • In 1998–2000, spore communities were quantified under mono...
متن کاملArbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Alien Plant Species
The invasion success of alien plant species depends, amongst other things, on their functional traits [4] and the susceptibility of ecosystems. There is now increasing interest in including biotic interactions particularly mutualistic associations [5], into frameworks assessing alien plant invasions, as they help bridge the invisibility and invasiveness features. The great majority of terrestri...
متن کاملArbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Mediation of Plant-Plant Interactions in a Marshland Plant Community
Obligate aerobic AMF taxa have high species richness under waterlogged conditions, but their ecological role remains unclear. Here we focused on AM fungal mediation of plant interactions in a marshland plant community. Five cooccurring plant species were chosen for a neighbor removal experiment in which benomyl was used to suppress AMF colonization. A Phragmites australis removal experiment was...
متن کاملSpecies Richness, Evenness and Plant Community Stability 22 Years after Ploughing a Semiarid Rangeland
Rangeland ploughing and cultivation using dry land farming crops may be amajor reason for the destruction of natural resources in the semiarid and sub-humid regionswhich may significantly change the composition and reduce the stability of the affectedcommunities. In present research, an abandoned ploughed site was compared with a nearbyreference site in the semiarid rangelands of Baharkish, Quc...
متن کاملCarbon partitioning in a split-root system of arbuscular mycorrhizal plants is fungal and plant species dependent
• Root carbon (C) partitioning in two host plant species colonized by one of three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal species was investigated. • Split-root systems of barley ( Hordeum vulgare ) and sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ) were inoculated on one side with one of three AM fungi. Leaves were labelled with 14 CO 2 3 wk after inoculation. Plants were harvested 24 h later and the root systems...
