“…B). Similar results were reported across tussock, shrub, and secondary forest areas in southwest China (Liang et al ., ). The negative relationship at lower elevations may be partly due to the competitive relationships between different plant species.…”

Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an important role in maintaining plant diversity and productivity in grassland ecosystems. However, very few studies have investigated how AMF and plant communities co‐vary between contrasting environments in natural ecosystems. Intensive sampling (50 soil samples) was conducted in natural open grasslands at both 3570 and 4556 m on Mount Segrila on the Southeast Tibetan Plateau. We used 454‐pyrosequencing to investigate soil AMF communities and to explore relationships between AMF diversity and plant richness, productivity and community composition. AMF diversity was negatively correlated with plant richness at 3570 m but positively at 4556 m. Differences in AMF community composition between elevations were attributable to plant community composition, soil pH and available phosphorus concentration. The AMF community was more phylogenetically clustered at the higher elevation than the lower elevation. However, greater phylogenetic clustering (under dispersion) of AMF communities at the two elevations was positively correlated with above‐ground biomass. Our results indicate that plant community composition and environmental filtering are the primary drivers structuring the AMF community. Phylogenetic relatedness may be important in explaining the function of AMF communities in alpine ecosystems.

“…The fungal community plays an important role in nutrient cycling through mycorrhizal associations and litter decomposition, has direct impacts on soil biochemical processes, soil nutrient composition and conversion, and also strongly affects plant diversity via mutualistic or pathogenic interactions [2,3]. Different soils contain a great diversity of fungal species, whose spatial distribution results from many factors, such as plant diversity, soil properties, land use and dispersal, and climate [4,5]. Soil fungal community structures, in turn, directly affect the properties and fertility of soil, thereby influencing the growth of plants; the soil microbial population and abundance is thus positively correlated with soil fertility and plant growth status [6][7][8].…”

The polymorphisms of soil fungal rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacer regions were studied in Korean pine forests of various ages (10-100-year-old trees) by means of cloned libraries, and analyzed to determine the effects of the trees' developmental stage on soil fungal community structure. The obtained Shannon diversity index (H) and richness (S) indicated that the diversity of the soil fungal community increased significantly with the development of Korean pines (P \ 0.05). In addition, cluster analysis (UPGMA) showed that the soil fungal community variety associated with differently aged Korean pines was higher than 50 %. The soil fungal community diversity correlated significantly with the N content and C/N ratio of the soil (P \ 0.05). The results of this study indicate that the age of in Korean pine can affect soil fungal community by altering soil properties, which in turn could affect the nutrient cycling in the forest ecosystem.

“…Therefore, the increase of soil organic matter in this paper was correlated with the growth of R. pseudoacacia. Moreover, plants play an important role on soil microbial community Liang et al, 2015). These labile compounds from plants could stimulate soil microbial and enzyme activity (Duan et al, 2015;Xiao et al, 2015).…”
