Abstract. The germinable seed bank of Festuca spp., Carex patagonica, and other annuals and perennials in a semiarid Patagonian grassland was analyzed every three months. The effects of grazing, topography and microsites with respect to established grass tussocks on the germinable-seed bank were also analyzed. The total germinable-seed bank was larger in summer after seed rain. At this time of the year most of the seeds were from annuals and perennial dicots. Seeds of the dominant Festuca spp. were the main components of the graminoid seed bank, which was homogeneously distributed in patches of bare soil. In spring, i.e. some months after the seed rain, the germinable-seed bank of most of the species was greatly reduced, while the seed bank of Carex patagonica did not change significantly. At this time of the year, the graminoid seed bank was heterogeneously distributed in space, with the seeds accumulating in wind-protected microsites. In the grazing treatments, the seed bank of the perennial grasses was reduced proportionally to the decrease of the plant cover. On the other hand, the germinable-seed bank of C. patagonica increased with the grazing treatments, in relation to the increase of vegetation cover. Topographical position had two types of effect on the seed bank of perennial grasses. One was the increase of the germinable-seed bank, after the seed rain, on the relatively warmer northeast facing slopes, which was related to a higher seed rain in these places. The other was an increased seed loss on slopes. The different seed-bank strategies observed in this grassland are compared and discussed in relation to strategies described for other grasslands. 相似文献

Seasonal variation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in temperate grasslands along a wide hydrologic gradient 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We studied seasonal variation in population attributes of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi over 2 years in four sites of temperate grasslands of the Argentinean Flooding Pampas. The sites represent a wide range of soil conditions, hydrologic gradients, and floristic composition. Lotus glaber, a perennial herbaceous legume naturalised in the Flooding Pampas, was dominant at the four plant community sites. Its roots were highly colonised by AM fungi. Temporal variations in spore density, spore type, AM root colonisation, floristic composition and soil chemical characteristics occurred in each site and were different among sites. The duration of flooding had no effect on spore density but depressed AM root colonisation. Eleven different types of spores were recognized and four were identified. Two species dominated at the four sites: Glomus fasciculatum and Glomus intraradices. Spore density was highest in summer (dry season) and lowest in winter (wet season) with intermediate values in autumn and spring. Colonisation of L. glaber roots was highest in summer or spring and lowest in winter or autumn. The relative density of G. fasciculatum and G. intraradices versus Glomus sp. and Acaulospora sp. had distinctive seasonal peaks. These seasonal peaks occurred at all four sites, suggesting differences among AM fungus species with respect to the seasonality of sporulation. Spore density and AM root colonisation when measured at any one time were poorly related to each other. However, spore density was significantly correlated with root colonisation 3 months before, suggesting that high colonisation in one season precedes high sporulation in the next season. 相似文献

Communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in grassland: Seasonal variability and effects of environment and host plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Petr Šmilauer 《Folia Geobotanica》2001,36(3):243-263
The seasonal dynamics of a community of endomycorrhizal fungal morphotypes in the roots of three grassland species (Achillea millefolium, Poa angustifolia, Plantago lanceolata) was evaluated, together with the effects of experimental treatment (mowing and phosphorus application) and the host plant properties. Strong seasonal variability was found in the fungal community, where clear seasonal patterns can be distinguished for several fungal morphotypes. The sampling date explained 20 to 30% of the total compositional variability for all three host species. ThePlantago roots host the highest number of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal populations. There are two co-dominant fungal morphotypes inAchillea roots (assigned to the generaScutellospora andGlomus) and only one strongly dominant morphotype (assigned toGlomus), in thePoa roots. All three host species have a comparable pattern of richness of AM morphotypes with a single peak in the summer, possibly aligned with the flowering time of the host. 相似文献

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were studied in the rhizosphere of 3 Poaceae with metabolic pathway C(3) (Briza subaristata Lam., Deyeuxia hieronymi (Hack.) Türpe and Poa stuckertii (Hack.) Parodi), 2 Poaceae with C(4) metabolic type (Eragrostis lugens Nees and Sorghastrum pellitum (Hack.) Parodi.), and a Rosaceae (Alchemilla pinnata Ruíz & Pav.) from a natural mountain grassland in Central Argentina (South America). Host species, their metabolic type, seasonal changes, and grazing effects over AM fungal diversity were analyzed. Seventeen mycorrhizal fungi taxa were found, widespread in all families of Glomales. Density of endomycorrhizal fungi was found to be strongly influenced with seasons and host metabolic pathway, although biodiversity (H), richness (S) and evenness (E) did not change. In most cases grazing did not affect these variables. 相似文献

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in non-grazed,restored and over-grazed grassland in the Inner Mongolia steppe 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity was investigated in non-grazed, restored and over-grazed (fenced) plots of a
grassland in the Inner Mongolia steppe. Plant cover and variety differ between the plots, being highest in the non-grazed
to lowest in the over-grazed plots. A total of 19 AM fungal taxa belonging to six genera were found based on spores isolated
from field samples and trap cultures. One belonged to Acaulospora, one to Archaeospora, one to Entrophospora, one to Gigaspora, 12 to Glomus and three to Scutellospora. Glomus was the dominant genus in all plots, and Glomus geosporum was the dominant species, whilst G. albidum and G. etunicatum were dominant in the restored plot. Scutellospora was the second dominant genus in the non-grazed plot with Scutellospora calospora being the dominant species. The mean spore density and mean species richness of AM fungi were significantly decreased by
long-term over-grazing. The Sorenson’s similarity coefficients of AM fungal community composition ranged from 0.5 to 0.64
among the three types of plot management. The results suggest that the AM fungal diversity is greatly affected by long-term
over-grazing and that fencing of degraded areas partly restores plant cover and AM fungal diversity in grassland ecosystems. 相似文献

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with vegetation and soil parameters under rest grazing management in a desert steppe ecosystem 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The impact of rest grazing on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the interactions of AMF with vegetation and soil parameters under rest grazing condition were investigated between spring and late summer in a desert steppe ecosystem with different grazing managements (rest grazing with different lengths of resting period, banned or continuous grazing) in Inner Mongolia, China. AMF diversity and colonization, vegetation biomass, soil properties and soil phosphatase activity were examined. In rest grazing areas of 60 days, AMF spore number and diversity index at a 0–10 cm soil depth as well as vesicular and hyphal colonization rates were higher compared with other grazing treatments. In addition, soil organic matter and total N contents were highest and soil alkaline phosphatase was most active under 60-day rest grazing. In August and September, these areas also had the highest amount of aboveground vegetation. The results indicated that resting grazing for an appropriate period of time in spring has a positive effect on AMF sporulation, colonization and diversity, and that under rest grazing conditions, AMF parameters are positively correlated with some soil characteristics. 相似文献

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are thought to have remained asexual for 400 million years, although recent studies have suggested that considerable genetic and phenotypic variation could potentially exist in populations. A brief discussion of these multigenomic organisms is presented. © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2003, 79 , 59–60. 相似文献

The roots of rain forest plants are frequently colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) that can promote plant growth
in the nutrient poor soils characteristic of these forests. However, recent studies suggest that both the occurrence of AMF
on rain forest plants and the dependence of rain forest plants on AMF can be highly variable. We examined the occurrence and
levels of AMF colonization of some common seedling species in a tropical and a subtropical rain forest site in Queensland,
Australia. We also used a long-term database to compare the growth and mortality rates of seedling species that rarely formed
AMF with those that regularly formed AMF. In both forests, more than one-third of the seedling species rarely formed AMF associations,
while 40% of species consistently formed AMF in the tropical site compared to 27% in the subtropical site. Consistent patterns
of AMF occurrence were observed among plant families at the two sites. Variation among seedling species in AMF occurrence
or colonization was not associated with differences in seed mass among species, variation in seedling size and putative age
within a species, or lack of AMF inoculum in the soil. Comparisons of four seedling species growing both in the shaded understory
and in small canopy gaps revealed an increase in AMF colonization in two of the four species in gaps, suggesting that light
limitation partially explains the low occurrence of AMF. Seedling survival was significantly positively associated with seed
biomass but not with AMF colonization. Furthermore, seedling species that regularly formed AMF and those that did not had
similar rates of growth and survival, suggesting that mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal strategies were equivalent in these forests.
Furthermore, the high numbers of seedlings that lacked AMF and the overall low rate of seedling growth (the average seedling
required 6 years to double its height) suggest that most seedlings did not receive significant indirect benefits from AMF
through connection to canopy trees via a common mycorrhizal network. 相似文献

Background
Salt stress has become a major threat to plant growth and productivity. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonize plant root systems and modulate plant growth in various ways.Scope
This review addresses the significance of arbuscular mycorrhiza in alleviation of salt stress and their beneficial effects on plant growth and productivity. It also focuses on recent progress in unravelling biochemical, physiological and molecular mechanisms in mycorrhizal plants to alleviate salt stress.Conclusions
The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in alleviating salt stress is well documented. This paper reviews the mechanisms arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi employ to enhance the salt tolerance of host plants such as enhanced nutrient acquisition (P, N, Mg and Ca), maintenance of the K+ : Na+ ratio, biochemical changes (accumulation of proline, betaines, polyamines, carbohydrates and antioxidants), physiological changes (photosynthetic efficiency, relative permeability, water status, abscissic acid accumulation, nodulation and nitrogen fixation), molecular changes (the expression of genes: PIP, Na+/H+ antiporters, Lsnced, Lslea and LsP5CS) and ultra-structural changes. Theis review identifies certain lesser explored areas such as molecular and ultra-structural changes where further research is needed for better understanding of symbiosis with reference to salt stress for optimum usage of this technology in the field on a large scale. This review paper gives useful benchmark information for the development and prioritization of future research programmes.Key words: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, salt stress, PIP, Na+/H+ antiporters, nutrient uptake, soil salinity 相似文献12.

The influence of tillage practices on native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was studied in two, consecutive years in eastern Canada, in two 11 year-old long-term tillage-fertilizer experimental field soils, a sandy loam and a clay, growing corn in monoculture. The three tillage practices were: 1) conventional tillage (CT; fall plowing plus spring disking), reduced tillage (RT; spring disking) and no-till (NT). The corn crop received either inorganic (N and K) or organic (liquid dairy manure) fertilizers. Mycorrhizal hyphal density was estimated from soil samples obtained in early spring (before disking), at the 12–14 leaf stage, at silking, and at harvest. The percentage of corn root colonization by AMF at the 12–14 leaf stage, at silking and at harvest was also determined. The sandy loam was sampled over two consecutive seasons and the clay soil over one season.Densities of total and metabolically active soil hyphae, and mycorrhizal root colonization were significantly lower in CT soil than in RT and NT soil. Lowest soil hyphal densities were observed in early spring. The levels of intra- and extraradical fungal colonization always increased from spring to silking and decreased thereafter. Spring disking had only a small and transient negative effect on hyphal abundance in soil. Fertilization did not influence mycorrhizal colonization of corn or abundance of soil hyphae in the sandy loam soil, but in the clay soil metabolically active hyphae were more abundant with manure application than with mineral fertilization. In 1992, in both soils different tillage systems had same grain yield, however, in 1993, corn yield was higher in NT compared to CT system. 相似文献

The status of the arbuscular mycorrhizal association in wild Agave potatorum Zucc. was studied at three semiarid sites over a 1-year period of rhizospheric soil sampling. Root colonization present at all sites and at all times of year, ranged from 20 to 83 %. The extraradical mycelia length was estimated to be from 2.64 to 5.22 m g?1 of dry soil. Spore number ranged from 20 to 192 in 100 g of soil. The number of viable mycorrhizal propagules ranged from 500 to 2,640 in 100 g of soil. Twenty species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were identified, the family Glomeracea comprising the greatest number of species (45 %). Two other fungi families Acaulosporaceae and Gigasporaceae made up 35 and 15 %, respectively. High alpha diversity and low beta diversity of AMF were found in this study. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species richness in A. potatorum is high and the associated fungi appear to be an important component in semiarid ecosystems in this region of Mexico. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species with small spores might be better adapted to the local environment. 相似文献

Laboratory studies with combinations of the fly agaric, Amanita muscaria (L. ex Fries) Hooker and birch (Betula pendula (Roth.)) suggest that the genetical control of mycorrhizal formation has features in common with the legume/Rhizobium symbiosis. There are at least four factors that can be genetically controlled by either the host or the fungus: (a) mycorrhizal formation; (b) the extent of mycorrhizal development; (c) the pattern of mycorrhizal branching, and (d) the shape and size of the host root system. 相似文献

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have a major influence on the structure, responses and below‐ground C allocation of plant communities. Our lack of understanding of the response of AM fungi to factors such as light and temperature is an obstacle to accurate prediction of the impact of global climate change on ecosystem functioning. In order to investigate this response, we divided a grassland site into 24 plots, each either unshaded or partly shaded with soil either unheated or heated by 3°C at 2 cm depth. In both short‐term studies in spring and autumn, and in a 1‐year‐long study, we measured root length colonization (LRC) by AM and non‐AM fungi. For selected root samples, DNA sequences were amplified by PCR with fungal‐specific primers for part of the small sub‐unit (SSU) rRNA gene. In spring, the total LRC increased over 6 weeks from 12% to 25%. Shading significantly reduced AM but increased non‐AM fungal colonization, while soil warming had no effect. In the year‐long study, colonization by AM fungi peaked in summer, whereas non‐AM colonization peaked in autumn, when there was an additive effect of shading and soil warming that reduced AM but increased non‐AM fungi. Stepwise regression revealed that light received within the 7 days prior to sampling was the most significant factor in determining AM LRC and that mean temperature was the most important influence on non‐AM LRC. Loglinear analysis confirmed that there were no seasonal or treatment effects on the host plant community. Ten AM fungal sequence types were identified that clustered into two families of the Glomales, Glomaceae and Gigasporaceae. Three other sequence types were of non‐AM fungi, all Ascomycotina. AM sequence types showed seasonal variation and shading impacts: loglinear regression analysis revealed changes in the AM fungal community with time, and a reduction of one Glomus sp. under shade, which corresponded to a decrease in the abundance of Trifolium repens. We suggest that further research investigating any impacts of climate change on ecosystem functioning must not only incorporate their natural AM fungal communities but should also focus on niche separation and community dynamics of AM fungi. 相似文献
