Mycorrhizas and soil structure

In addition to their well-recognized roles in plant nutrition and communities, mycorrhizas can influence the key ecosystem process of soil aggregation. Here we review the contribution of mycorrhizas, mostly focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to soil structure at various hierarchical levels: plant community; individual root; and the soil mycelium. There are a suite of mechanisms by which mycorrhizal fungi can influence soil aggregation at each of these various scales. By extension of these mechanisms to the question of fungal diversity, it is recognized that different species or communities of fungi can promote soil aggregation to different degrees. We argue that soil aggregation should be included in a more complete 'multifunctional' perspective of mycorrhizal ecology, and that in-depth understanding of mycorrhizas/soil process relationships will require analyses emphasizing feedbacks between soil structure and mycorrhizas, rather than a uni-directional approach simply addressing mycorrhizal effects on soils. We finish the discussion by highlighting new tools, developments and foci that will probably be crucial in further understanding mycorrhizal contributions to soil structure.

外生菌根真菌菌丝对马尾松苗氮素传递的影响

为探究外生菌根真菌菌丝对马尾松Pinus massoniana幼苗氮素的吸收、传递及分配规律的影响,本研究应用¹⁵N示踪技术,采用四室隔网系统进行盆栽试验。研究表明：供体接种外生菌根真菌后,根外菌丝能够穿过粘土层和隔离层到达受体室,在供、受体植株之间形成菌丝桥。接种不同外生菌根真菌均显著增加供体植株苗高、地径及生物量(P<0.05),但对受体植株的影响有差异,其中接种橙黄硬皮马勃Scleroderma citrinum (Sc)对植株苗高、地径及生物量具有显著的促进作用(P<0.05)。接种对供、受体植株全氮含量无显著性的规律(P>0.05),只有接种东方豆马勃Pisolithus orientalis (Po)的植株全氮含量显著高于其他处理。接种能够显著提高供体植株根、茎、叶的吸氮量,且叶>根>茎,受体植株中,接种Po、Sc和褐环乳牛肝菌Suillus luteus (Sl)的植株总吸氮量较不接种(NE)显著增加(P<0.05),而接种混合菌(Sm)的植株与NE无显著差异(P>0.05)。接种Sl的植株¹⁵N传递率最高(75.86%),受体植株对¹⁵N吸收量最大(91.68 μg/pot),Po次之。供体植株中,除接种Sl的植株¹⁵N主要分配在叶外,其他处理的¹⁵N分配中心均在根部,在受体植株中,接种Po、Sl、Sm的植株¹⁵N主要分配在根部,而NE和接种Sc的植株¹⁵N主要分配在茎。综上,在马尾松供、受体苗木间能形成菌丝桥,接种外生菌根真菌能够促进马尾松供体植株苗高、地径的生长及生物量的积累,提高植株吸氮量,对于受体植株不同菌种的作用有差异,其中接种Sc的苗木表现最好。此外,不同的菌种菌丝对植株的全氮含量、¹⁵N吸收量、传递率及分配率的影响也不同,其中,以接种Po和Sl的苗木表现较好。

Fungal genome size and composition reflect ecological strategies along soil fertility gradients

Genomic traits reflect the evolutionary processes that have led to ecological variation among extant organisms, including variation in how they acquire and use resources. Soil fungi have diverse nutritional strategies and exhibit extensive variation in fitness along resource gradients. We tested for trade-offs in genomic traits with mycelial nutritional traits and hypothesize that such trade-offs differ among fungal guilds as they reflect contrasting resource exploitation and habitat preferences. We found species with large genomes exhibited nutrient-poor mycelium and low GC content. These patterns were observed across fungal guilds but with varying explanatory power. We then matched trait data to fungal species observed in 463 Australian grassland, woodland and forest soil samples. Fungi with large genomes and lower GC content dominated in nutrient-poor soils, associated with shifts in guild composition and with species turnover within guilds. These findings highlight fundamental mechanisms that underpin successful ecological strategies for soil fungi.
