“…The AMF of Funneliformis, Claroideoglomus, and Glomus were the dominant genera that were also reported previously [32,69]. Moreover, the genera Acaulospora and Glomus species dominance was in line with the other research reports [32,44,69] who found as these species were dominant in similar agroecosystems with this study [29] reported from tropical systems. This might be the ability of these genera to adapt to different environments as reported [87] and these species also known by producing immense number of small sized spores [88].…”

“…The dominance of Acaulospora scrobiculata in this study could be taken as it adapts to wide range of soils and host species [86]. The AMF of Funneliformis, Claroideoglomus, and Glomus were the dominant genera that were also reported previously [32,69]. Moreover, the genera Acaulospora and Glomus species dominance was in line with the other research reports [32,44,69] who found as these species were dominant in similar agroecosystems with this study [29] reported from tropical systems.…”

“…The AMF species richness recorded in this study were comparable with the research findings, for instances, 42 species detected under different land use types in Ethiopia [32], 43 species recorded in Brazil [29]. On the other hand, the species richness in this research was higher as compared other studies, 29 species were identified from Southern Ethiopia [69], 9 species from Tanzania [77], and 12 species from Kenya [73]. The variation in AMF species richness could be determined by plant diversity, density and soil physicochemical properties [38].…”

“…Cameroon [71], in North Ivory Cost [72], in Kenya [73], and in Sudan [74]. Similarly the dominancy of Acaulospora and Glomus were also reported [29,32,44,69,75]. Moreover, different comparable reports had also shown that about 42 AMF species belonging to 15 genera were identified [32] in Ethiopia, 42 AMF species belonging to 12 genera were discovered [74] in Sudan under different cropping systems, 43 species of AMF were isolated from Western…”

The conversion of an agroforestry based agricultural system to monocropping farming system influences the distribution and composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The objective of this paper was to analyze AMF species diversity, spore density and root colonization across different agroforestry practices (AFP) in southern Ethiopia. Soil and root samples were collected from homegarden, cropland, woodlot, and trees on soil and water conservation based AFP. AMF spores were extracted from the soil and species diversity evaluated using morphological analysis and root colonization from root samples. The spore density, root colonization and the composition of AMF were significantly different among the AFP (P < 0.05). In this study, a total of 43 AMF morphotypes belonging to 11 genera were identified, dominated by Acaulospora (32.56%) followed by Claroideoglomus (18.60%). Homegardens had the highest spore density (7641.5 spore100 g− 1 dry soil) and the lowest was recorded in croplands (683.6 spore100 g− 1 dry soil). Woodlot had the highest root colonization (54.75%) followed by homegarden (48.25%). The highest isolation frequency (63.63%) was recorded for Acaulospora scrobiculata. Distribution of AMF species and diversity were significantly related to soil total nitrogen and organic carbon. The homegarden and woodlot AFP were suitable for soil AMF reserves and conservation.

The aim of this paper was to analyze AMF species diversity, spore density, and root colonization across different agroforestry practices (AFP) in southern Ethiopia. Soil and root samples were collected from homegarden, cropland, woodlot, and trees on soil and water conservation-based AFP. AMF spores were extracted from the soil and species diversity was evaluated using morphological analysis and root colonization from root samples. The AMF spore density, root colonization and composition were significantly different among the AFP (P < 0.05). In this study, 43 AMF morphotypes belonging to eleven genera were found, dominated by Acaulospora (32.56%), followed by Claroideoglomus (18.60%). Home gardens had the highest spore density (7641.5 spore100 g− 1 dry soil) and the lowest was recorded in croplands (683.6 spore100 g− 1 dry soil). Woodlot had the highest root colonization (54.75%), followed by homegarden (48.25%). The highest isolation frequency (63.63%) was recorded for Acaulospora scrobiculata. The distribution of AMF species and diversity were significantly related to soil total nitrogen and organic carbon.
