“…The signi cant positive correlation between LCBD1 and the IV of f. Ulmaceae plants is mainly due to the extensive planting of Zelkova serrata in Qingdao hill parks. Zelkova serrata is an important greening plant in East Asia and has special cultural value in some regions of China (Wang et al 2021;Kimm and Ryu 2015).…”

There is a lack of objective evaluation indicators and methods for comparing the uniqueness of plant communities in different urban parks. In this study, we propose two uniqueness evaluation indicators for woody plant communities in urban parks based on the ecological importance value (IV): the mean non-overlapping IV (MNIV) and the local contribution to beta diversity based on IV (LCBD1). Subsequently, we investigated and evaluated the diversity and uniqueness of woody plant communities in eight hill parks (numbered Parks 1‒8) in Qingdao. A total of 101 woody plant species were found, with an average of 23.88 ± 5.96 species found in each hill park. The Shannon‒Wiener index and Pielou index of woody plants in Qingdao hill parks were in the range of 2.54‒3.40 and 0.94‒0.98, respectively. The results of MNIV, LCBD1, principal coordinate analysis and cluster analysis all indicate that Park 4 and Park 8 are the two most unique woody plant communities among the eight Qingdao hilltop parks. There was a very significant (P < 0.01) positive correlation between MNIV and LCBD1. MNIV and LCBD1were significantly (P < 0.05) negatively correlated with the IV of Pinaceae plants and significantly (P < 0.05) positively correlated with the IV of Anacardiaceae, Cannabiaceae, and Ginkgoaceae plants. In conclusion, this study offers indicators and methods for assessing the uniqueness of woody plant communities in urban parks and other green spaces. This is a valuable contribution to the research and evaluation of park green spaces.

“…Plant seedlings inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi have been reported to better tolerate such complex stress [ 23 ]. AMF enhanced in some cases nutrient acquisition and reduced aluminium toxicity under acid rain [ 24 ], enhanced photosynthetic parameters [ 25 ], and decreased superoxide dismutase activities [ 26 ]. However, older studies reported that other plant species did not benefit from AMF under acid rain conditions [ 27 ].…”

Lupinus species have been sporadically reported to be colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The interactions between AMF and lupine plants could also be non-symbiotic, from positive to negative, as controlled by the stress conditions of the plant. The goal of the study was to reveal the existence of such positive interactions and provide preliminary data for a myco-phytoremediation technology of mining dumps using L. angustifolius as a first crop. The objective was to test the hypothesis that the AMF inoculation of an acidified dump material contaminated with heavy metals would improve the growth of L. angustifolius and decrease oxidative stress. The design consisted of a one-month bivariate pot experiment with plants grown in a mining dump soil inoculated and not inoculated with a commercial AMF inoculum sequestered in expanded clay and watered with acidic and neutral water. There was no AMF root colonization under the experimental conditions, but under neutral and acidic water conditions, the phosphorus concentrations in roots and leaves increased, and the superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities significantly decreased due to AMF inoculation. The increase in leaf phosphorus concentration was correlated with the decrease in peroxidase activity. The fresh weight of shoots and leaves significantly increased due to the commercial inoculum (under acidic water conditions). At the end of the experiment, the ammonium concentration in the substrate was higher in the inoculated treatments than in the not inoculated ones, and the concentrations of many elements in the dump material decreased compared to the start of the experiment. A comprehensive discussion of the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of the commercial AMF inoculum on the non-host L. angustifolius is completed.
