Article Synopsis
- * In a study of the AMF community in the roots of Pterocarpus tinctorius from aluminum- and iron-rich agricultural and forest fallow soils, researchers discovered 30 distinct operational taxonomic units (OTUs), mainly from unidentified species.
- * The research found that soil properties and tree density significantly impacted AMF species richness, which was low in acidic soils, highlighting the potential of leguminous trees as a source of unknown AMF species for future ecological restoration efforts using AMF-based biofertilizers
Soil properties and microbial activities are indicators that shape plant communities and evolution. We aimed to determine the interdependency between trees, belowground herbaceous plants, soil characteristics, and arbuscular mycorrhizal communities. and and their associated herb layers were targeted.

Although beneficial effects have been reported on soil stabilization, there still remains a lack of information about their impact on soil microorganisms. Our investigation has been carried out in exotic and native tree plantations of 28 years and aimed to survey and compare the abundance and genetic diversity of natural legume-nodulating rhizobia (LNR).
