Testing the Effect of Soil Heterogeneity on Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) Contribution to Plant Productivity

Most natural soils are heterogeneous and nutrient availability and soil structure change greatly over small distances. It is still unclear whether AMF are advantageous for plants under such heterogeneous soil conditions. The objective of this study was to determine whether diverse AMF community support host plant community productivity in heterogeneous soil. It was also tested whether soil heterogeneity affects plant productivity. This was carried out in a greenhouse experiment made up of two factors: soil heterogeneity and AMF richness. Soil heterogeneity was simulated by mixing three soil types (sand, field soil and organic soil) together (homogenous soil (HM)), mixing them partly (semi homogenous (SH)) or keeping the three soil types separate in three compartments within one pot (heterogeneous (HT)). AMF richness was simulated by adding no AMF, one of four different AMF species separately, or all four different AMF together. The pots were planted with a mixture of Trifolium pratense and Lolium multiflorum. There was no effect of soil heterogeneity on total plant biomass. However, the biomass of the individual plant species was greatly affected by soil heterogeneity with Lolium being the most abundant in the heterogeneous soil and Trifolium being the most abundant in the homogenous soil. Total plant biomass did not increase with AMF richness. Moreover, opposite to the hypothesis, AMF richness was not beneficial for plant productivity in a heterogenous soil environment. However, there were significant differences in plant biomass with different AMF treatments in the SH and HT treatment indicating that effects of AMF on plant productivity are influenced by soil type. These effects on yield and AMF reflect a combination of local responses to growing conditions. The results show that AMF influence on plant yield may not always be positive but is strongly dependent on ecological elasticity and environmental condition.

Effects of Two Kinds of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) Inoculums on Cucumber Seedlings Growth

To study the effects of AMF （ arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi） ineeulums on seedling growth of cucumber, vegetable seeds were inoculated with two kinds of AMF ineculums BF （ mycorrhiza for plants） and VT （ mycorrhiza for vegetables） from Czech Republic during sowing in trays in greenhouse. The root AMF infection rates in seedlings were 49.30% and 37.65% respectively after 35 d growth. The plant height, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight of those seedlings inoculated with BF and VT were higher than that in CK. Compared with the CK, VT inoculation significantly improved the root activity, chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate of cucumber seedlings. Comprehensive analysis showed that VT could promote seedling growth of protected cucumber.

Review of Research Methods on Biodiversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi （AMF） are essential functional microbiology in natural ecosystems. It is very important to research community composition and di- versity of AMF for achieving sustainable development of ecosystems. The paper described several methods of researching the diversity of AMF, especially for molecular techniques, reviewed the application status of these methods in AMF research, and pointed out that the effective combination of morphological and molecular methods could better reveal the biodiversity and ecological functions of AMF in natural ecosystems.

Research Progress on the Process and Mechanism of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Colonizing Roots

The arbuscular mycorrhiza （AM） is a kind of fungi-plant associated sym- biont formed by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plants in soil. Present study was limited to the population and community level, mainly in horticulture, land recla- mation, forest and environmental restoration. Research progress was also made at the cellular level and molecular level. Process and related mechanism of mycorrhizal fungi infecting root were reviewed, and future study on the mechanism of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi infecting root should be continued.

The Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Reactive Oxyradical Scavenging System of Tomato Under Salt Tolerance

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi （AMF）, Glomus mosseae, on oxygen radical scavenging system of tomato under salt stress were studied in potted culture experiments. The response of tomato （Lycopersieon eseulentum L.） cultivar Zhongza 9 seedlings with AMF inoculation and control to salt stress （0, 0.5 and 1.0% NaCl solution, respectively） was investigated. The results showed that the salt stress significantly reduced the dry matter content of roots, stems and leaves, and also the leaf area as compared with the control treatment. However, arbuscular mycorrhizal-inoculated （AM） significantly improved the dry matter and the leaf area in the salt-stressed plants. The effect of AMF on dry matter was more pronounced in aerial bromass than in root biomass which might be due to AM colonization. The activities of SOD, POD, ASA-POD, and CAT in leaves and roots of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal treatment of tomato plants were increased and had different rules under different NaCl concentrations （solution of 0, 0.5 and 1% NaCl）, but all enzymes had a rise in the beginning of treatment under salt stress conditions. The AMF did not change the rule of tomato itself under salt stress, but AMF increased these enzyme activities in different levels. The AMF treatment significantly increased SOD, POD and ASA-POD activities in leaves and roots, whereas it had little effects on CAT in root. O2- production rate and MDA content in leaves increased continuously, which showed a positive line correlation with salt stress concentration. O2- production rate and MDA content in tomato plants significantly decreased by AM treatment compared with nonmycorrhizal treatment. In conclusion, AM could alleviate the growth limitations imposed by saline conditions, and thereby play a very important role in promoting plant growth under salt stress in tomato.

General and specialized metabolites in peanut roots regulate arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis

Arbuscular mycorrhizae(AM)fungi form symbiotic associations with plant roots,providing nutritional benefits and promoting plant growth and defenses against various stresses.Metabolic changes in the roots during AM fungal colonization are key to understanding the development and maintenance of these symbioses.Here,we investigated metabolic changes in the roots of peanut(Arachis hypogaea L.)plants during the colonization and development of AM symbiosis,and compared them to uncolonized roots.The primary changes during the initial stage of AM colonization were in the contents and compositions of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid compounds.These compounds function in signaling pathways that regulate recognition,interactions,and pre-colonization between roots and AM fungi.Flavonoid compounds decreased by 25%when the symbiosis was fully established compared to the initial colonization stage.After AM symbiosis was established,general metabolism strongly shifted toward the formation of lipids,amino acids,carboxylic acids,and carbohydrates.Lipid compounds increased by 8.5%from the pre-symbiotic stage to well-established symbiosis.Lyso-phosphatidylcholines,which are signaling compounds,were only present in AM roots,and decreased in content after the symbiosis was established.In the initial stage of AM establishment,the content of salicylic acid increased two-fold,whereas jasmonic acid and abscisic acid decreased compared to uncolonized roots.The jasmonic acid content decreased in roots after the symbiosis was well established.AM symbiosis was associated with high levels of calcium,magnesium,and D-(+)-mannose,which stimulated seedling growth.Overall,specific metabolites that favor the establishment of AM symbiosis were common in the roots,primarily during early colonization,whereas general metabolism was strongly altered when AM symbiosis was well-established.In conclusion,specialized metabolites function as signaling compounds to establish AM symbiosis.These compounds are no longer produced after the symbiosis between the roots and AM becomes fully established.

Effectivity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi collected from reclaimed mine soil and tallgrass prairie

We examined suitability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with cool-season nonnative forages on reclaimed surface-mined land in southeast Ohio for establishment of native warm-season grasses. The goal of establishing these grasses is to diversify a post-reclamation landscape that is incapable of supporting native forest species. A 16-week glasshouse study compared AMF from a 30-year reclaimed mine soil (WL) with AMF from native Ohio tallgrass prairie soil (CL). Four native grasses were examined from seedling through 16 weeks of growth. Comparisons were made between CL and WL AMF on colonized (+AMF) and non-colonized plants (–AMF) at three levels of soil phosphorus (P). Leaves were counted at 4 week intervals. Shoot and root biomass and percent AMF root colonization were measured at termination. We found no difference between WL and CL AMF. Added soil P did not reduce AMF colonization, but did reduce AMF efficacy. Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash), and tall dropseed (Sporobolus asper (Michx.) Kunth) benefited from AMF only at low soil P while slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus (Link) Gould ex Shinners) exhibited no benefit. Establishment of tallgrass prairie dominants big blue-stem and Indiangrass would be supported by the mine soil AMF. It appears that the non-native forage species have supported AMF equally functional as AMF from a regionally native tallgrass prairie. Tall dropseed and slender wheatgrass were found to be less dependent on AMF than big bluestem or Indiangrass and thus would be useful in areas with little or no AMF inoculum.

Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Species Associated with Soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) in Benin

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMFs) could be used to sustainably improve crop yields. The present study evaluated the diversity of AMF species associated with soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) in main soybean-producing areas in Benin. Composite soil samples from 13 production areas at a rate of 04 villages per production areas were collected. A spore trapping device was set up to reveal the diversity of spores. The physical and chemical properties of the soils, the frequency and intensity of mycorrhization of roots, and the diversity of AMF spores were determined in the soil samples following trapping. As result, eight morphotypes belonging to four genera: Glomus, Acaulospora Gigaspora and Disversispora and three families: Diversisporales, Glomérales and Paraglomérales were observed. An important variability of spore densities was observed from one production areas to another with a higher abundance in the production areas of Copargo estimated at 3584 spores/100g soil. The biological diversity indexes as Shannon (0.0311), Simpson (0.0204) and Hill (0.0235), varied significantly (p < 0.05) from one production areas to another. There was significant correlation between the parameters studied, particularly between the physico-chemical parameters of the soils and between the physico-chemical parameters and the biological diversity indexes. For the mycorrhization parameters, the mycorhization frequencies did not vary from one production areas to another, unlike the intensities, which significantly varied from one production areas to another (2.31% to 24.62%). Finally, this study revealed that the physico-chemical parameters of the soils had an influence on the other parameters studied. Moreover, there were an abundance and a significant diversification of AMFs associated with soybean in the different production areas, which are influenced by certain physico-chemical soil parameters.

弱光及干旱条件下AMF对切花月季光合和AsA-GSH循环的影响

旨在探究弱光及干旱条件下丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对切花月季光合、AsA-GSH循环以及渗透调节物质的影响。盆栽条件下设置100%全光照(L1)、50%全光照(L2)2个光照处理组,80%土壤持水量(W1)和40%土壤持水量(W2)2个水分处理组,接种AMF[变形球囊霉(Glomus versiforme)+异形根孢囊霉(Rhizophagus irregularis)]及不接种对照(CK)共8个处理。结果表明,AMF能够侵染切花月季根系,显著提高切花月季生长品质。弱光和/或干旱胁迫下,与不接种对照相比,接种AMF能有效地促进切花月季叶片的净光合速率(P_(n))、蒸腾速率(T_(r))、气孔导度(G_(s))和水分利用效率(WUE)增加,降低细胞间隙CO_(2)浓度(C_(i));在L2W2处理条件下,与不接种对照相比,接种AMF使切花月季叶片中的抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)、单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDAR)和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)活性分别提高5.2%、15.4%、21.7%和35.9%;接种AMF的抗坏血酸(AsA)含量与对照处理无显著差异,还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量提高8.1%,GSH/GSSG比值增加7.9%;接种AMF后切花月季丙二醛(MDA)含量显著降低,可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸(Pro)含量明显增加。结论认为AMF通过维持AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG的稳定,提高AsA-GSH循环中相关酶活性,增加切花月季叶片可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量而降低MDA含量来适应水分和光照的变化,形成适应光照和水分条件变化的生理生态对策来改善切花月季生长品质。

Effect of Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Utilization in Upland Rice-Mungbean Intercropping System

The effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi （AMF） on plant growth and nutrition utilization in upland rice and mungbean intercropping system was studied. A pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse and AMF colonization rates of rice and mungbean roots, plant nutrient contents, the ability of nitrogen fixation, and nutrient contents changed in the soil were analyzed. The results were obtained as follows： the rates of AMF colonization of rice and mungbean roots were reached to 14.47 and 92.2% in intercopping system, and increased by 4.11 and 11.95% compared with that of in monocropping; the nirtrogen contents of mungbean and rice were increased by 83.72 and 64.83% in shoots, and 53.76 and 41.29% in roots, respectively, while the contents of iron in shoot and root of mungbean were increased by 223.08 and 60.19%, respectively. In the intercropping system with inoculation of AMF, the biomass of mungbean increased by 288.8%. However, the biomass of rice was not significantly changed among all treatments with or without inoculation of AMF recorded. The number and dry weight of nodules were significantly increased either when mungbean was intercropped with rice or inoculated with AMF. When compared with that of monocropping without AMF inoculation, the contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and iron in nodules of intercropping mungbean with inoculation increased by 80.14, 69.54 and 39.62%, respectively. Additionally, intercropping with AMF inoculation significantly increased soil nitrogen content, but reduced soil phosphorus content. We concluded that upland rice-mungbean intercropping system and inoculation with AMF improved the nutrient uptake, the ability of nitrogen fixation and the growth of mungbean.

Comparison of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community in Roots and Rhizosphere of Invasive Cenchrus incertus and Native Plant in Inner Mongolia,China

Plant invasions could significantly alter arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM) fungal communities, but the effect may vary with plant species and local environments. Identifying changes in the AM fungal community due to plant invasion could improve our understanding of the invasion processes. Here, we examined the AM fungal community composition both in roots and rhizosphere soils of the invasive plant Cenchrus incertus and the dominant native plant Setaria viridis in a typical steppe in Inner Mongolia by using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses(T-RFLP). The results showed that AM fungal abundance in the rhizosphere soils of C. incertus was significantly lower than that of S. viridis. The AM fungal community composition in the rhizosphere soils of the two plant species also largely differed. In general, AM fungal community structures in roots corresponded very well to that in rhizosphere soils for both plant species. The dominant AM fungal type both in invasive and native plants was T-RFLP 524 bp, which represents Glomus sp.(Virtual taxa 109 and 287). Three specific T-RF types(280,190 and 141bp) were significantly more abundant in C. incertus, representing three clusters in Glomus which also named as VT(virtual taxa) 287, 64 and 214, Rhizophagus intraradices(VT 113) and Diversispora sp.(VT 60). While the specific T-RF types,189 and 279 bp, for S. viridis, only existed in Glomus cluster 1(VT 156), were significantly less abundant in C. incertus. These results indicated that AM fungi might play an important role in the invasion process of C. incertus, which still remains to be further investigated.

神东矿区接种AMF对植物−土壤生态化学计量及养分回收的影响

矿区采煤沉陷地植被恢复和微生物复垦是打造绿色矿山的关键点。丛枝菌根真菌(Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi,AMF)和恢复植被类型对植物−枯落叶−土壤连续体的生态化学计量学特征及养分回收的影响尚不明朗,但对阐明西北干旱采煤沉陷区生态修复后养分循环和可持续发展具有重要意义。选择复垦10 a后接种AMF与对照的紫穗槐、沙棘、文冠果、欧李、野樱桃5种恢复植被及对应植被的0~10 cm土壤进行研究,旨在探明接菌和恢复植被类型对植物−枯落叶−土壤连续体碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量和生态化学计量比,养分回收率、养分限制的影响。结果表明:5种恢复植被各器官平均养分含量与全国水平相比呈现出高C、P低N的特点,土壤N的缺乏限制了枯落物分解和植物生长。冗余分析表明影响植物生态化学计量的主要土壤因子是土壤有机碳、P、土壤易提取球囊霉素并且土壤养分与叶养分回收在菌根介导下呈正相关。AMF接种提高了植物、土壤养分含量、N、P回收率和土壤碳氮比,降低了植被的氮磷比,进而缓解植物N限制,增加植物生长速率支持恢复植被重建,促进连续体养分循环。在不同人工重建植被中接菌的固氮植被紫穗槐和沙棘养分含量、稳定性及生长速率高。植物−枯落叶−土壤连续体生态化学计量及养分回收特征预测土壤氮限制沉陷区可持续生态恢复,接种AMF则促进沉陷区持续生态恢复的潜力。

Genome-wide analyses of mi RNAs in mycorrhizal plants in response to late blight and elucidation of the role of miR319c in tomato resistance

Tomato(Solanum lycopersicum), an economically important vegetable crop cultivated worldwide, often suffers massive financial losses due to Phytophthora infestans(P. infestans) spread and breakouts. Arbuscular mycorrhiza(AM) fungi mediated biocontrol has demonstrated great potential in plant resistance. However, little information is available on the regulation of mycorrhizal tomato resistance against P. infestans.Therefore, microRNAs(miRNAs) sequencing technology was used to analyse miRNA and their targets in the mycorrhizal tomato after P.infestans infection. Our study showed a lower severity of necrotic lesions in mycorrhizal tomato than in nonmycorrhizal controls. We investigated 35 miRNAs that showed the opposite expression tendency in mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal tomato after P. infestans infection when compared with uninfected P. infestans. Among them, miR319c was upregulated in mycorrhizal tomato leaves after pathogen infection. Overexpression of miR319c or silencing of its target gene(TCP1) increased tomato resistance to P. infestans, implying that miR319c acts as a positive regulator in tomato after pathogen infection. Additionally, we examined the induced expression patterns of miR319c and TCP1 in tomato plants exposed to salicylic acid(SA) treatment, and SA content and the expression levels of SA-related genes were also measured in overexpressing transgenic plants. The result revealed that miR319c can not only participates in tomato resistance to P. infestans by regulating SA content, but also indirectly regulates the expression levels of key genes in the SA pathway by regulating TCP1. In this study, we propose a novel mechanism in which the miR319c in mycorrhizal tomato increases resistance to P. infestans.

AMF对低温胁迫下黄瓜幼苗生长和叶片抗氧化系统的影响

【目的】研究丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mucorrhiz fungi,AMF)对低温胁迫下黄瓜(Cucumis sativusL.)幼苗生长和抗氧化酶活性等生理指标的影响。【方法】以黄瓜品种‘津春2号’为试材,利用人工气候箱进行低温处理(昼/夜,15/10℃),研究低温胁迫下接种AMF对黄瓜幼苗生长、电解质渗透率、根系活力和叶绿素、丙二醛(MDA)、可溶性蛋白质含量及过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的影响。【结果】与低温胁迫的未接菌对照相比,接种AMF可以使低温胁迫下黄瓜幼苗的株高增长量、茎粗增长量、地上部和地下部鲜质量的增长量、地上部和地下部干质量的增长量均显著提高,可溶性蛋白含量增加10.24%,根系活力提高178.32%,POD、SOD、CAT活性分别提高57.63%、6.72%和35%,MDA含量和电解质渗透率分别降低11.05%和16.08%。【结论】接种AMF可通过促进低温胁迫下黄瓜幼苗叶片可溶性蛋白的大量积累和抗氧化酶活性的提高,来降低膜脂过氧化水平,从而增强黄瓜幼苗对低温胁迫的适应性。

干旱胁迫下AMF对云南蓝果树幼苗生长和光合特征的影响

采用盆栽试验与称重控水法,将土壤相对含水量分别控制在田间最大持水量的100%、91.68%、82.85%、60.00%、41.86%和21.28%,并在这6个不同的土壤相对含水量条件下,分别设添加苯菌灵(杀真菌剂)(低AMF)和不添加苯菌灵(高AMF)处理,研究干旱胁迫下AMF对极小种群野生植物云南蓝果树幼苗生长和光合特征的影响,揭示云南蓝果树濒危的微生物学机制,为云南蓝果树保护措施的制定与实施奠定基础。结果表明,添加苯菌灵处理显著降低了不同水分条件下的AMF侵染率,说明试验中AMF处理的实生苗在生长和光合特征上的差异是苯菌灵处理下侵染率下降导致的;随着干旱胁迫的加剧,云南蓝果树幼苗的根部AMF侵染率显著降低、叶面积等生长指标和净光合速率(Pn)等光合参数都发生显著变化;高AMF处理可以显著增加水分充足和轻度干旱胁迫条件下云南蓝果树幼苗的大部分生长指标和光合参数,而对重度胁迫下的云南蓝果树幼苗没有显著影响,说明重度干旱胁迫对其影响大于AMF的影响;另外,整合了可塑性指数分析和隶属函数分析两种方法对其抗旱性进行评价,云南蓝果树幼苗基本上无法通过调节形态和光合能力来适应水分环境的变化,但是高AMF处理可使云南蓝果树幼苗具有较强的可塑性和更强的抗旱性。实验结果为云南蓝果树的科学保育及种苗繁育提供了理论依据。

接种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对施磷石膏云烟87的生长以及砷污染的影响

【目的】丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)能够促进作物养分的吸收及生长,且对土壤砷污染有一定的抗性。磷石膏(phosphogypsum,PG)因含有丰富的磷、硫等养分可以为作物生长提供必要的养分,同时也可能带来砷污染的风险。【方法】为了探讨接种AMF对云烟87生长的影响以及磷石膏农用可能引起的砷污染风险,通过盆栽模拟试验研究了不同PG添加量(0和40 g/kg以PG0、PG40表示)和接种不同AMF[不接种None mycorrhizal(NM)、接种G.mosseae丛枝菌根真菌(GM)、接种G.aggregatum丛枝菌根真菌(GA)]对云烟87苗期生长及其磷、硫、砷吸收的影响。【结果】试验结果表明:无论接种与否,PG40处理的云烟87植株磷含量、吸收量及吸收效率均显著增加,其地上部硫含量及吸收量也显著增加;除NM处理外,添加PG均显著增加了云烟87根系的硫含量、硫吸收量及吸收效率,并显著增加了其植株的生物量。相同PG添加水平下,与NM处理相比,接种GM显著增加了云烟87根系的磷、硫吸收效率和植株的磷、硫含量及吸收量,另外,GM处理显著降低了其地上部砷含量及吸收量但显著增加了其植株的磷砷吸收比。在PG0处理下,接种GA显著增加了云烟87植株的磷含量及吸收量,并显著增加了其地上部硫含量及吸收量。在PG40处理下,接种GA显著增加了云烟87根系的硫含量和吸收量以及植株的生物量。无论是否添加PG,接种GA不同程度地降低了云烟87地上部砷含量和吸收量从而增加了其地上部的磷砷吸收比。【结论】在所有复合处理中,以添加磷石膏40 g/kg和接种GM对云烟87生长的促进效果较好,对施用磷石膏造成的砷污染有一定程度的抵御作用。

丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对沙棘抗旱性的影响

采用组织化学技术研究了水分胁迫条件下丛枝菌根真菌中碱性磷酸酶活性对宿主沙棘抗旱性的影响。结果表明，菌根内总菌丝量＞功能菌丝量＞活性菌丝量，总菌丝和功能菌丝是活性菌丝的基础，对宿主生物量积累起重要作用的是活性菌丝；具有磷酸酶活性的菌丝对沙棘生长和抗旱作用最强，随着碱性磷酸酶活性的提高，宿主林木鲜重增加，萎蔫系数降低。活性菌丝通过直接参与宿主林木磷素营养物质的交换，改善林木养分和水分状况，提高林木抗旱性。

大气CO_2倍增对植物根内AMF群落的影响

采用环境控制生长室控制CO2浓度的方法，研究了CO2浓度（350—400μmol mol^-1和680—750μmol mol^-1对植物根内丛枝菌根真菌（arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi，AMF）群落的影响。12种宿主植物于CO2浓度不同的生长室栽培180d后收获取样，通过CTAB法提取共生菌根内丛枝菌根真菌的DNA，由特异引物U1／U2扩增编码核糖体28S大亚基的rDNA部分序列，并进行DGGE电泳分析。结果表明。12种植物根内的AMF存在特异的AMF类群（unique species group，US）和共有类群（common species group，CS），而且CO2浓度倍增使US减少而CS增加。与350μmol mol^-1 对照相比，700μmol mol^-1处理的玉米、刺苋、大豆、陆稻、无芒稗、黑麦草6种植物的AMF群落多样性下降，下降幅度分别达27．12％、16．84％、10．12％、8．62％、8．58％和2．67％；白车轴、牛筋草、早熟禾、鼠曲草、野燕麦、北美车前6种植物的AMF群落多样性上升，分别达76．26％、28．50％、17．60％、15．08％、1．46％和0．96％。CO2倍增处理后12种植物的AMF多样性平均指数略呈上升趋势。研究指出未来环境变化（如CO2增加）将影响AMF群落结构从而影响菌根共生体的形成。
