Abstract: | The prevalence of arbuscular mycorrhizas and abundance of mycorrhizal fungi in the roots of herbaceous plants with different
types of Grime-Ramenskii’s ecological strategies (competitors, ruderals, and stress tolerators) have been studied in the Middle
Urals. The closest association with arbuscular fungi has been observed in species with a competitive strategy. Compared to
them, stress-tolerant species are characterized by lower abundance of mycorrhizal fungal hyphae in the root system, while
ruderal plants include a relatively large proportion of nonmycotrophic species showing no interaction with arbuscular fungi. |
