“…These AMF species have been inoculated in plant species that can become established in early successional stages typical of humid tropical forests (Álvarez-Lopeztello et al 2021). Agave species, able to adapt to nutrientdeficient soils, high temperatures, and high solar radiation, are candidates for the restoration of arid habitats (Cervera Herrera et al 2018). Among the AMF reported in this study, species that respond to isolation and propagation could be used in restoration, particularly those that have shown specific benefits to plants.…”

Background: Oaxaca, a southern State in Mexico, belongs to the Mesoamerican hotspot of biodiversity. The taxonomic and diversity knowledge of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in Oaxaca State is scattered and accessibility to it is difficult. Questions: Which AMF species have been identified in Oaxaca and which is their distribution? Studied species: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Study site: State of Oaxaca, Mexico. Methods: It was prepared an updated and annotated checklist of the AMF species with frequency of occurrence and the sampling sites where the species had been registered. All studies carried out previously (to date, 2022) were considered. Information on AMF taxa was available in scattered form in different publications in physical and electronic media, theses, projects, technical reports, and scientific papers. Results: The checklist includes 78 species, distributed among 23 genera, 10 families, and four orders. The most diverse families were Glomeraceae (26 species), followed by Gigasporaceae (20) and Acaulosporaceae (15), whereas the most diverse genera were Acaulospora and Glomus (15 and eight species, respectively). The most frequent species were Funneliformis geosporus, Acaulospora scrobiculata, and A. spinosa. The highest species diversity has been reported under the rhizosphere of Agave angustifolia, A. karwinskii, and Zea mays (39, 36, and 34 species, respectively). A new AMF species was recently isolated from the rhizosphere of a microendemic agave. Conclusions: The recorded AMF species of Oaxaca State confirms its position as one of the states with the highest AMF species diversity of Mexico.

“…The effects of the spatial variation of microenvironmental conditions of the coastal Yucatecan scrublands have been studied in relation to the population abundance and spatial distribution of Agave angustifolia (Cervera et al, 2018), the seedling survival and individual growth of the endemic cactus Mammillaria gaumeri (Cervera et al, 2006; Leirana‐Alcocer & Parra‐Tabla, 1999); but the seed bank has not been included in these studies, despite being so important for understanding vegetation succession and recovery.…”

Microclimatic conditions affect seeds' survival, dormancy, and germination, which are determinants in vegetation succession and recovery. The semiarid coastal scrublands of Yucatan, Mexico are very important because of the environmental services they provide thus, studies are needed in disturbed sites in relation to seed viability and microclimate. In this study, we characterized the microclimate and seed bank under Pithecellobium keyense shrubs, during the rainy and dry seasons. We collected soil samples and measured microenvironmental variables under adult P. keyense at three different positions under the canopy of every studied individual (“open” or completely sunny, “half‐shaded,” placed at the border of the canopy, and “fully shaded” placed under the canopy, next to the stem of the shrub). Photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), minimum night‐time temperature, and maximum daytime temperature behaved differently among positions under the canopy both in rainy and dry seasons. During the rainy season, seed viability was no different among microenvironments, while in the dry, the highest was found in the fully shaded and the lowest in the open position. Microclimatic variables under the canopy of P. keyense had an effect on the probability of seed viability in Chuburná; and this effect was stronger in the dry season.Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.

Agave plants, found primarily in arid and semi‐arid regions, have been utilized by indigenous communities for various purposes for thousands of years. They currently serve as crops to produce alcoholic beverages and fibers. Despite their importance, there is limited understanding of the relationship between agave and soil. This article addresses some of the knowledge gaps regarding the interactions and benefits of the agave‐soil approach. Among all the documents reviewed, 153 discussed individual soil parameters (45 physical, 68 chemical, and 40 biological), 59 explored interactions between them, and 130 did not address soil aspects (i.e., soil was merely presented as a substrate for the growth and development of plants and was not examined in the study's findings). Moreover, the historical evolution of the research highlights two distinct periods (from 1985 to 2000 and between 2010 to 2023) of notable publication activity, with recent years witnessing a surge in studies involving soil management techniques, genetic improvement of agave species, bioremediation, and the use of residues for bioenergy, biofuel, and soil amendments. There is a notable increasing trend in diverse research areas interested in these interactions, reflecting a broader recognition of the importance of understanding soil functioning in agave cultivation. Indeed, from 2010 to 2023, the use of the keyword ‘soil’ increased by 96% in studies of agave cultivation. This shift in research trends suggests that scientific advances in agave cultivation and soil science can be expected, contributing to sustainable agriculture and the long‐term viability of agave‐based industries. This article underscores an opportunity for further research to optimize agave cultivation and processing (e.g., soil management and productivity), for different purposes while conserving soil health and promoting sustainable land‐use practices.
