宁夏荒漠草原恢复演替过程中物种多样性与生产力的变化

荒漠草原一直是生态学者关注的焦点。文章以宁夏灵武的荒漠草原区为研究对象,对围栏条件下退化群落的物种多样性、生产力和群落演替及其生态机制进行探讨,为荒漠草原的植被恢复和重建提供理论基础。结果表明:群落生产力除受物种多样性的影响外,也受物种本身特征和环境资源的影响。在荒漠草原中功能群盖度与群落初级生产力无显著的相关关系。荒漠植物群落物种多样性指数在时间尺度上的变化表现为随着围栏时间的延续逐渐增加,而生态优势度变化趋势则相反。在不同年份年降水量直接影响植物群落物种数的多少、丰富度和生产力。     

季风常绿阔叶林演替系列菌根资源及其与群落多样性的关系

随着森林生态系统的正向演替,植物物种多样性、群落结构、生产力以及土壤条件均会发生显著的变化,这些变化对菌根类型和多样性会产生不同程度的影响。为了探讨群落结构和功能的变化对菌根资源可能产生的影响,选择季风常绿阔叶林及其演替系列上的代表性森林生态系统为对象,对菌根化根系、菌根类型和菌根真菌孢子密度进行调查,并结合已有的群落信息和土壤养分状况,分析在森林演替过程中菌根资源的变化情况和可能的影响因素。结果表明:季风常绿阔叶林各演替阶段的森林生态系统中菌根化比例接近70%,但不同演替阶段森林的优势菌根类型存在明显的差异。处于演替初期的马尾松(Pinus massoniana)林以丛枝菌根为主,占菌根总数的78%;演替中期的针阔叶混交林中的外生菌根占有绝对优势,占75%,是丛枝菌根的3倍;演替顶级的季风常绿阔叶林中的外生菌根和丛枝菌根的比例相当。马尾松林的菌根真菌孢子密度最高,每20 g风干土壤中的孢子数量高达2 925个,是针阔叶混交林的2.5倍,季风常绿阔叶林的2倍。演替系列上的森林生态系统的菌根类型的差异与植物物种多样性和群落结构,尤其是林下的灌木、草本层密度存在一定的相关性,同时也受土壤养分状况的影响。马尾松林具有较丰富的草本植物和较高的草本层密度,并且该森林的土壤相对贫瘠,这些条件都有利于丛枝菌根真菌侵染草本植物的根系形成丛枝菌根并产生大量孢子。针阔叶混交林中外生菌根的优势主要受该森林中外生菌根植物在群落组成上的绝对优势影响。季风常绿阔叶林的物种丰富,群落结构复杂,因此该森林呈现了两种类型菌根优势相当的现象。该文的结果表明,随着季风常绿阔叶林演替的进行,菌根资源在类型上会出现较大的分异,而这种变化受植物物种数量、群落结构的影响,与土壤养分状况存在一定的关系,并且不同演替阶段森林生态系统影响菌根组成的因素存在差异。     

沿海侵蚀台地不同恢复阶段土壤团聚体组成及其与丛枝菌根真菌的关系

生态恢复是防治土壤侵蚀、恢复地带性植被并实现可持续发展的重要措施。丛枝菌根真菌能够促进土壤团聚体的形成和稳定,进而改良土壤结构,对退化生态系统的恢复和重建具有重要作用。通过分析小良沿海侵蚀台地不同恢复阶段(裸地—桉树林—阔叶混交林—次生林)土壤团聚体组成、细根生物量、微生物群落结构以及球囊霉素相关土壤蛋白(Glomalin-Related Soil Protein,GRSP)质量分数等指标,探讨沿海侵蚀台地植被恢复过程中土壤团聚体组成及其与丛枝菌根真菌的潜在关系。结果表明,(1)随着植被恢复的进行,土壤大团聚体(粒径2 000μm)含量、土壤结构稳定性指数(平均质量直径,Mean Weight Diameter,MWD)、细根生物量、各微生物生物量以及总GRSP(Total GRSP,T-GRSP)质量分数均有所增加。(2)丛枝菌根真菌生物量与细根生物量、各微生物类群生物量以及T-GRSP质量分数间均呈显著的正相关关系。(3)土壤中细根生物量、各微生物类群生物量以及T-GRSP质量分数与其MWD、大团聚体含量呈显著正相关关系。可见,在植被恢复过程中,丛枝菌根真菌能够促进大团聚体的形成与稳定,进而增强土壤结构稳定性,其机制可能在于丛枝菌根真菌生物量的增加能够促进其分泌更多的GRSP,并提高土壤微生物量和细根生物量。     

空心莲子草入侵对土壤AM真菌生物量和群落结构的影响——以湖北省典型区域为例

土壤丛枝菌根(Arbuscular mycorrhizal,AM)真菌具有维持植被稳定性和多样性的重要作用.为了解空心莲子草入侵过程中与AM真菌的相互作用,采用脂肪酸甲酯(FAMEs)和基于18S rDNA的PCR-DGGE方法对湖北咸宁、仙桃和武汉三地空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)入侵前后土壤AM真菌的生物量和群落结构进行了比较分析.结果发现,基于FAMEs表征的AM真菌生物量在空心莲子草入侵后变化不大,仅仙桃地区显著增加(P<0.05).尽管DGGE图谱显示咸宁、仙桃和武汉三地AM真菌优势类群的群落结构均发生了明显演替,但群落间物种组成差异的多样性指数βWH在2.55-2.73之间、群落多样性指数H′在1.22-1.38之间,变化均不大.结果表明,空心莲子草入侵所形成的植物更替明显改变了AM真菌优势类群的结构,但对AM真菌的生物量和多样性影响很小.     

亚热带北缘次生阔叶林土壤性状和菌根真菌多样性随坡位的变化

菌根真菌的侵染和共生有助于林木对土壤氮、磷等养分的吸收利用,是林木适应瘠薄土壤条件和困难立地的有效方式。以位于宁镇山脉中部空青山的次生阔叶林为对象,利用自然地形变化所产生的立地条件的差异,分别采集上、中、下坡的林木根系及土壤样品,分析菌根真菌侵染率和多样性,以及相应的土壤性状,研究亚热带北缘次生阔叶林林木根系的菌根真菌侵染情况随坡位的变化,并探讨其与土壤养分供应之间的关系。结果表明,不同坡位林地土壤的含水量、pH值、有效磷含量以及微生物生物量氮含量差异不显著,但均随坡位下降而升高。下坡和中坡的土壤有机碳含量、全氮含量、无机氮含量以及微生物生物量碳含量整体上均显著高于上坡。上、中、下坡林木菌根平均侵染率分别为92.1%、84.7%和74.6%,随着坡位的下降侵染率显著降低。不同坡位菌根真菌的Shannon-Wiener指数、Simpson指数和丰富度指数差异显著,表现为上坡中坡下坡,菌根真菌的均匀度指数在不同坡位间没有差异。不同坡位菌根真菌侵染率以及Shannon-Wiener指数均与土壤有机碳和硝态氮含量呈显著负相关,此外,菌根真菌Shannon-Wiener指数还与土壤pH显著负相关,与铵态氮含量显著正相关。菌根真菌的丰富度指数则与土壤含水量、有机碳含量、有效磷含量以及微生物生物量氮含量呈显著负相关。综合结果表明,亚热带北缘丘陵山区次生阔叶林菌根真菌侵染与土壤养分状态之间存在一定的权衡关系,上坡硝态氮的相对匮乏促使更多的菌根真菌侵染以及更高的菌根真菌多样性,通过林木与菌根真菌的互利共生保障林木的氮素获取和正常生长。     

酸雨胁迫下接种土壤微生物对栾树幼苗生长的影响

为探讨菌根真菌对宿主植物在酸雨逆境中的调节作用,以华北地区森林群落常见树种栾树(Koelreuteria paniculata)幼苗为研究对象,采用双因素完全随机试验设计开展盆栽试验,设置了3个酸雨梯度(pH分别为3.5、4.5、5.6)及2种土壤微生物接种方式(接种、不接种),对各处理下幼苗生长情况、叶片氮磷含量、根内泡囊-丛枝菌根真菌(Vescile-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi)定殖情况进行测定及分析。结果表明:(1)栾树幼苗根系泡囊-丛枝菌根真菌表现出趋酸性的特征,其侵染率在pH 3.5中定殖率最高(76.3%),在pH 5.6中定殖率最低(34.4%);(2)在pH 3.5和pH 4.5酸雨处理中,接种土壤微生物显著促进了栾树幼苗的生长(P0.05),但在p H 5.6处理则无显著促进作用(P0.05),接种土壤微生物显著降低了3种酸雨胁迫下栾树幼苗叶片氮及氮磷比值,栾树幼苗在强酸胁迫下有更高的菌根依赖性(pH3.5:MD=54.2%,p H4.5:MD=38.7%,pH5.6:MD=0);(3)相关性分析表明,在pH3.5和pH4.5处理中,菌根真菌侵染率与苗木生物量、株高、基径、叶片氮及叶片氮磷比等显著相关(P0.05),而在pH 5.6处理中则均无显著相关关系。栾树幼苗泡囊-丛枝菌根真菌在强酸胁迫下表现出提高定殖率的适应策略;强酸胁迫下(pH 3.5、pH 4.5),泡囊-丛枝菌根真菌对栾树幼苗生长的调节作用较弱酸胁迫(pH5.6)明显;接种土壤微生物通过提高泡囊-丛枝菌根真菌的侵染率促进强酸雨下栾树幼苗基径、株高、地上及地下生物量。研究结果在一定程度上反映了接种土壤微生物对酸胁迫下栾树幼苗的促生长作用模式及调节作用。     

极端干旱对荒漠草原群落物种多样性和地上生物量碳氮的影响

极端干旱及其对植物群落物种多样性的影响是气候变化及其影响评估的重要内容之一,而有关干旱荒漠草原区气候变化与植物群落多样性及其功能关系的研究鲜见报道。为明晰极端干旱对荒漠草原物种多样性和地上生物量的影响,利用野外极端干旱处理试验平台,研究了荒漠草原沙生针茅群落物种多样性和地上生物量及其碳、氮密度对极端干旱的响应特征。结果表明,极端干旱改变了荒漠草原沙生针茅(Stipa glareosa)群落的物种组成,进而使物种多样性发生变化。在8月份,生长季5-8月截雨66%和6-7月干旱60 d两种极端干旱处理都降低了群落的Shannon-Wiener指数和物种丰富度指数。两种极端干旱处理使地上现存生物量较对照降低了50%以上(P0.05)。生长季5-8月截雨66%干旱处理使凋落物生物量较对照降低了61%(P0.05),同时使凋落物生物量的碳氮密度显著低于对照。两种极端干旱处理使地上现存生物量的碳氮密度显著低于对照。因此,极端干旱不仅改变了荒漠草原群落的物种组成,而且改变了地上生物量,影响了植被碳氮密度,从而减弱荒漠草原植物群落地上部分的碳氮汇功能。     

菌根真菌侵染对植物生物量累积的影响

为了从生态系统尺度探讨菌根资源与植物生物量累积的关系,调查了鼎湖山不同成熟度的三个森林群落主要优势树种的菌根侵染情况.综合分析各森林群落优势树种的个体数、生物量和菌根侵染率发现：1）菌根侵染率与径向生长速率相关,植物生长迅速的阶段菌根侵染率更高.中径级（胸径15-30 cm）的马尾松（Pinus massoniana）和锥（Castanopsis chinensis）的侵染率比小径级（胸径1-15 cm）个体的侵染率高,而大径级个体（胸径30 cm 以上）的侵染率略低于中径级个体的侵染率.木荷（Schima superba）则表现出侵染率随着胸径增大而增高的趋势.2）树种在群落内的侵染率越高,其对群落生物量的贡献率越大.如马尾松在马尾松林和混交林的侵染率分别为（77.30±18.02）%和（40.50±14.42）%,其对马尾松林群落生物量的贡献率达到87.43%,是对混交林生物量贡献率（17.51%）的5 倍.混交林和阔叶林的共有优势树种锥的侵染率和生物量贡献率也有存在相同规律.3）根系碳储量占群落总碳储量比例较高的群落其优势树种平均侵染率相对较高.马尾松林、混交林和季风常绿阔叶林中,根系碳储量占群落总碳储量的比例分别为55%、54%、42%,群落优势树种平均侵染率分别为（66.73±10.55）%、（46.97±27.28）%、（54.22±25.45）%,马尾松林的根系碳储量和平均侵染率均高于混交林和季风常绿阔叶林.以上结果表明,菌根真菌侵染对于植物个体生长速率以及群落水平的生物量累积具有-定的促进作用.     

青藏高原腹地青藏苔草草原不同退化程度的植物群落特征

为揭示高寒草地退化演替过程,采用野外调查方法研究了青藏高原腹地青藏苔草(Carex moorcroftii)草原不同退化程度的植物群落特征.结果显示:青藏苔草草原退化过程中优势种从未退化时的青藏苔草演变为轻度和中度退化程度时的青藏苔草和高山嵩草(Kobresia pygmaea)并存,重度退化程度时则无明显优势种;主要伴生种表现为湿生植物逐渐消失,中生和旱生毒杂草逐渐增加;植物物种丰富度指数和多样性指数均先增加后降低,中度退化程度最大,此时优质豆科(Leguminose)植物入侵,物种更替速率最大,β多样性指数最高.盖度、高度、地上总生物量均明显降低,而禾本科(Gramineae)生物量和豆科生物量均先增加后减少,中度退化程度时最大.相关分析表明,青藏苔草草原群落高度、盖度和均匀度指数与初级生产力呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.936(P0.01)、0.961(P0.01)和0.743(P0.05).说明植物群落组分是青藏苔草草原不同退化程度植物群落结构和生产力变化的核心,在揭示青藏苔草草原逆向演替机制的过程中应注重阐明植物群落组分更替规律.图1表5参30     

半干旱区人工封育草场植物群落物种多样性与复杂性研究──以宁夏盐池为例

围栏封育促进植被恢复效果研究方法很多,其中通过研究植被的群落特征及物种多样性来阐述恢复状况仍是比较常用和有效的手段,但多样性测度对生物群落的自组织及有序性方面的特征描述欠缺,鉴于此,多样性与复杂性测度结合起来研究群落结构与功能显得更有意义。研究人工封育对植被恢复过程中群落的多样性与复杂性的影响,必然有助于揭示生态恢复过程机理。目前,利用多样性与复杂性测度相结合来对群落结构进行量化研究不多,用于对草原生态系统植物群落结构研究更少。本文通过样地调查,利用多样性和复杂性指数相结合定量研究半干旱区人工封育草场植物群落物种多样性、复杂性随封育年限的变化规律,并对比分析复杂性与物种多样性之间的相关性。结果表明,（1）老封育区、新封育区丰富度指数整体高于对照区,说明封育有利于物种丰富度的增加。但随封育时间的延长,封育区的优势种占据主要的资源空间,丰富度指数降低。长时间封育,草场植被丰富度将发生规律性波动变化,低峰值和高峰值出现频率均约为4~5年/次。老封育区、新封育区的SW、SP多样性指数值大部分也高于对照区,说明封育措施增加草场植被的多样性。物种多样性指数受降水影响显著,当降水量增加或减少时,多样性指数也相应出现增加或减少,但降水影响效应具有一定的滞后性。老封育区、新封育区均匀度变化比较平稳,且指数值高于对照区,说明封育有利于均匀度的增加。（2）老封育区、新封育区总复杂性指数、无序结构复杂性指数值大部分比对照区指数值高,且指数波动相对平稳,说明封育区群落结构比对照区稳定,更适合荒漠草原植被的生长,封育增加了群落总复杂性、无序结构复杂性。封育也提高群落有序结构复杂性,但?     

Distinct mycorrhizal communities on new and established hosts in a transitional tropical plant community

The extent to which interspecific plants share mycorrhizal fungal communities depends on the specificity of the symbiosis. For tropical forest tree seedlings, colonization by mycorrhizal fungi associated with established vegetation could have important consequences for survival and growth. I used a novel molecular technique to assess the potential for sharing of mycorrhizas in forest and pasture in southern Costa Rica, by identifying arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in roots of the forest canopy tree species Terminalia amazonia, pasture grasses Urochloa ruziziensis and U. decumbens, and seedlings of T. amazonia planted into experimental reforestation plots. I tested the hypotheses that experimental seedlings were colonized either by the AM fungal community of the forest T. amazonia (suggesting host specificity) or of Urochloa (suggesting absence of specificity/importance of local environment). After two years, pasture-grown T. amazonia seedlings were colonized by neither community, but rather by a species of Glomus that was rarely observed on the other plants. These results suggest that conspecific seedlings planted into existing vegetation generate a distinct mycorrhizal community that may influence competitive interactions and the relative costs and benefits of the AM fungal symbiosis at early stages in the life cycle of tropical trees.     

Plant winners and losers during grassland N-eutrophication differ in biomass allocation and mycorrhizas

Human activities release tremendous amounts of nitrogenous compounds into the atmosphere. Wet and dry deposition distributes this airborne nitrogen (N) on otherwise pristine ecosystems. This eutrophication process significantly alters the species composition of native grasslands; generally a few nitrophilic plant species become dominant while many other species disappear. The functional equilibrium model predicts that, compared to species that decline in response to N enrichment, nitrophilic grass species should respond to N enrichment with greater biomass allocation aboveground and reduced allocation to roots and mycorrhizas. The mycorrhizal feedback hypothesis states that the composition of mycorrhizal fungal communities may influence the composition of plant communities, and it predicts that N enrichment may generate reciprocal shifts in the species composition of mycorrhizal fungi and plants. We tested these hypotheses with experiments that compared biomass allocation and mycorrhizal function of four grass ecotypes (three species), two that gained and two that lost biomass and cover in response to long-term N enrichment experiments at Cedar Creek and Konza Long-Term Ecological Research grasslands. Local grass ecotypes were grown in soil from their respective sites and inoculated with whole-soil inoculum collected from either fertilized (FERT) or unfertilized (UNFERT) plots. Our results strongly support the functional equilibrium model. In both grassland systems the nitrophilic grass species grew taller, allocated more biomass to shoots than to roots, and formed fewer mycorrhizas compared to the grass species that it replaced. Our results did not fully support the hypothesis that N-induced changes in the mycorrhizal fungal community were drivers of the plant community shifts that accompany N eutrophication. The FERT and UNFERT soil inoculum influenced the growth of the grasses differently, but this varied with site and grass ecotype in both expected and unexpected ways suggesting that ambient soil fertility or other factors may be interacting with mycorrhizal feedbacks.     

Effects of two different intercropping systems on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal colonization and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dissipation北大核心CSCD

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are typical organic contaminants in the environment. It is indicated that plants and soil microorganisms have a positive synergistic effect on the remediation of PCB-contaminated soil. To investigate the effect of intercropping on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization and PCB remediation, a pot-cultivation experiment with two intercropping treatments, corn (Zea mays L.) / ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and corn/alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), and a corn monoculture was conducted in a greenhouse. All treatments were inoculated with Funneliformis mosseae M47V. Plant biomass, root mycorrhizal colonization rate, concentration of PCBs and their homologs in soil, 16S rDNA gene abundance, and community composition measured by Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) were determined after harvesting the plants. Intercropping significantly increased the root mycorrhizal colonization rate and plant biomass of corn (P < 0.05), as well as the available N content of the soil. A significant difference of the bacterial community composition was found among different treatments (P < 0.05). Compared with corn monoculture, corn/alfalfa intercropping significantly increased soil bacteria abundance (P < 0.05). The dissipation rates of total PCBs, as well as that of penta-chloro biphenyls were significantly increased in the intercropping treatments, when compared to the corn monoculture treatment. Moreover, corn/ryegrass intercropping has a significantly positive effect on the dissipation of tri-chloro biphenyls. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis indicated that the PCBs homologues composition were significantly correlated with the relative abundance of 128 bp and 148 bp T-RFs. Corn intercropping with ryegrass or alfalfa has a positive effect on root mycorrhizal colonization rate and plant biomass of corn. Inoculation of AM fungi in intercropping treatments significantly improved the efficiency of PCB remediation by promoting bacterial abundance and shifting the bacterial community composition. In conclusion, intercropping combined with AM fungi have positive synergistic effects on the remediation of PCB-contaminated soils. © 2018 Science Press. All rights reserved.     

Effects of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi isolated from white clovers (Trifolium repens L) on soil bacteria and fungi

White clover potted experiments were performed to investigate the effects of seven indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities isolated from different test plots subjected to long-term fertilisation on soil enzyme activities, number of soil bacteria and fungi. The results showed that the inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities increased the mycorrhizal infection rate of the plants and promoted the growth of plants. The Mnp treatment was most effective. The shoot biomass, root biomass, potassium and nitrogen uptake of the white clover in Mnp treatment group were increased by 61.54%, 84.00%, 62.50% and 46.71% respectively, compared with those in non-inoculation treatment. The inoculation of AMF communities had little effect on the number of bacteria in the soil, but significantly increased the number of soil fungi. Mnk treatment group had the highest number of fungi in the soil, which was 9.91 times that of the non-inoculation treatment group. The catalase and dehydrogenase activities were both significantly improved in Mnp treatment by 28.12% and 205.38% respectively, compared with those of the control treatment (-M). The urease, invertase and cellulase activities reached the highest levels in the Mck treatment; they were increased by 142.79%, 41.17% and 77.62% respectively, compared with those of the control treatment. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the soil enzyme activity was not correlated with the mycorrhizal infection rate, but correlated with the spore number of the AMF community. The impact of AMF community on soil quality is important for us to understand the function of the ecosystems. Relevant study provides important guidance for maintaining the balance of the soil-plant system and the development of sustainable agriculture.     

A multi-mutualist simulation: Applying biological market models to diverse mycorrhizal communities

We present a cellular automaton that simulates the interaction between a host tree and multiple potential mycorrhizal symbionts and generates testable hypotheses of how processes at the scale of individual root tips may explain mycorrhizal community composition. Existing theoretical biological market models imply that a single host is able to interact with and select from multiple symbionts to organize an optimal symbiont community. When evaluating the tree–symbiont interaction, two scales must be considered simultaneously: the scale of the entire host plant at which carbon utilization and nutrient demands operate, and the scale of the individual root tip, at which colonization and carbon-nutrient trade occurs. Three strategies that may be employed by the host tree for optimizing carbon use and nutrient acquisition through mycorrhizal symbiont communities are simulated: (1) carbon pool adjustment, in which the plant controls only the total amount of carbon to be distributed uniformly throughout the root system, (2) symbiont selection, wherein the plant opts either for or against the interaction at each fine root tip, and (3) selective carbon allocation, wherein the plant adjusts the amount of carbon allocated to each root tip based on the cost of nutrients. Strategies were tested over various nutrient availabilities (the amount of inorganically and organically bound nutrients). Success was defined on the basis of minimizing carbon expended for nutrient acquisition because this would allow more carbon to be utilized for growth and reproduction. In all cases, the symbiont selection and selective carbon allocation strategies were able to meet the nutritional requirements of the plant, but did not necessarily optimize carbon use. The carbon pool adjustment strategy is the only strategy that does not operate at the individual root tip scale, and the strategy was not successful when inorganic nutrients were scarce since there is no mechanism to exclude suboptimal symbionts. The combination of the symbiont selection strategy and the carbon pool adjustment resulted in optimal carbon use and nutrient acquisition under all environmental conditions but result in monospecific symbiont assemblages. On the other hand, the selective carbon allocation strategy is the only strategy that maintained successful, multi-symbiont communities. The simulations presented here thus imply clear hypotheses about the effect of nutrient availability on symbiont selection and mycorrhizal community richness and composition.     

VA菌根对喀斯特草本群落植物根际养分影响研究

以贵州花江喀斯特高原生态综合治理试验示范区内草本群落阶段的几种主要植物为材料,对其根际微生态环境进行了研究,包括根际土壤化学性质、土壤酶活性和VA菌根侵染率及AMF孢子密度。结果表明：VA菌根侵染率和根际土壤中AMF孢子密度存在极显著正相关,相关系数达到0.97;不同植物根际土壤的化学指标和土壤酶活性均表现出较强的根际效应,即R/S〉1;VA菌根侵染率与pH值存在显著负相关,与有效磷质量分数存在极显著正相关,与碱性磷酸酶存在显著正相关,说明VA菌根能够促进土壤中难溶态磷往有效磷方向转化;AMF对宿主植物的侵染能够在一定程度上改善根际微生态环境的营养状况。     

土壤重金属污染对丛枝菌根真菌产孢量的影响

以沈阳附近重金属矿区自然和农田土壤为研究对象，对土壤重金属含量、植物类型、AMF种群及孢子密度进行了调查，并对污染的农田、荒地土壤进行了比较．结果表明：调查污染区土壤中球囊霉属为优势类群，无梗囊霉属为少见类群，盾巨孢囊霉属为偶见类群，无梗囊霉属和盾巨孢囊霉属对重金属污染特别是铜污染较为敏感；丛枝菌根真菌重金属污染土壤中分布广泛．在综合污染指数达到28．03的严重污染土壤中仍能生存，其孢子密度在不同污染程度的土壤中变异很大，轻、中度污染土壤中较高，随重金属污染程度的增加而锐减；矿区重金属污染土壤中土壤污染程度、土壤pH值、土壤利用情况及宿主植物都影响AMF产孢．图4表4参32     

Importance of dispersal and thermal environment for mycorrhizal communities: lessons from Yellowstone National Park

The relative importance of dispersal and niche restrictions remains a controversial topic in community ecology, especially for microorganisms that are often assumed to be ubiquitous. We investigated the impact of these factors for the community assembly of the root-symbiont arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) by sampling roots from geothermal and nonthermal grasslands in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), followed by sequencing and RFLP of AMF ribosomal DNA. With the exception of an apparent generalist RFLP type closely related to Glomus intraradices, a distance-based redundancy analysis indicated that the AMF community composition correlated with soil pH or pH-driven changes in soil chemistry. This was unexpected, given the large differences in soil temperature and plant community composition between the geothermal and nonthermal grasslands. RFLP types were found in either the acidic geothermal grasslands or in the neutral to alkaline grasslands, one of which was geothermal. The direct effect of the soil chemical environment on the distribution of two AMF morphospecies isolated from acidic geothermal grasslands was supported in a controlled greenhouse experiment. Paraglomus occultum and Scutellospora pellucida were more beneficial to plants and formed significantly more spores when grown in acidic than in alkaline soil. Distance among grasslands, used as an estimate of dispersal limitations, was not a significant predictor of AMF community similarity within YNP, and most fungal taxa may be part of a metacommunity. The isolation of several viable AMF taxa from bison feces indicates that wide-ranging bison could be a vector for at least some RFLP types among grasslands within YNP. In support of classical niche theory and the Baas-Becking hypothesis, our results suggest that AMF are not limited by dispersal at the scale of YNP, but that the soil environment appears to be the primary factor affecting community composition and distribution.

大气CO2浓度升高对植物的光合作用、呼吸作用等产生直接影响，进而影响到运送到根系中碳的量，菌根真菌也随之受到影响．本文对全球CO2浓度升高对菌根真菌的影响、菌根真菌在植物对大气CO2增加响应中的作用、菌根真菌在大气CO2浓度增加条件下对整个生态系统的作用等进行了综述，同时对当前存在的问题和未来的发展做了探讨．图1参37
