Influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on Plant Competition for growth of a legume and a grass plant species

Arbuscular 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...

Symbiosis relationship between some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Salsola laricina and its effect on improving plant growth parameters

The aim of this study was to examine the symbiosis relationshipbetween some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Salsola laricina (Chenopodiaceae), a non-mycotrophic plant speciesand its effect on improving plant growth parameters. Initially, the development of AMF density was monitored through two parameters including evaluation of mycorrhizal colonization of plant roots and density measurem...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Biosolids Enhance the Growth of a Native Australian Grass on Sulphidic Gold Mine Tailings

We tested the efTect oC the addition oC biosolids combined with a native rnycorrhizal inoculum (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi [AMF]) 00 growth oC a native Australian grass, and 00 trace element stabilization oC sulphidic gold mine tailings. A glasshouse trial was established 00 four substrates: tailings (T); tailings with a layer oC 5 cm topsoil (TS); tailings amended with 100 dry t ha-1 biosoli...
