Ecological filters shape arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in the rhizosphere of secondary vegetation species in a temperate forest.
The community assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the rhizosphere results from the recruitment and selection of different AMF species with different functional traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between biotic and abiotic factors and the AMF community assembl...

| description | The community assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the rhizosphere results from the recruitment and selection of different AMF species with different functional traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between biotic and abiotic factors and the AMF community assembly in the rhizosphere of four secondary vegetation (SV) plant species in a temperate forest. We selected four sites at two altitudes, and we marked five individuals per plant species at each site. Soil rhizosphere samples were collected from each SV plant species, during the rainy and dry seasons. Soil samples from the rhizosphere of each plant species were analyzed for AMF spores, organic matter (OM), pH, soil moisture, and available phosphorus, and nitrogen. Three ecological filters influenced the AMF community assembly: host plant identity, abiotic factors, and AMF species co-occurrence. This assembly consisted of 61 AMF species, with different β-diversity values among plant species across seasons and altitudes. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that AMF community composition is linked to OM and available P and N, with only a few AMF species co-occurring, while most do not. Our study highlights how ecological filters shape AMF structure, which is essential for understanding how soil and environmental factors affect AMF in SV plant species across seasons and altitudes. |
