“…However, the process of returning forest functions is time-consuming and requires a succession process. Qu et al (2023) argued that the process of succession in ex-mining ecosystems is challenging. This is because the accumulation of certain chemical elements inhibits the natural microbial community from producing enzymes that play an important role in the association between plant-soil feedback (PSF), which forms a community interaction in the local ecosystem.…”

<p>The exploitation of natural resources remains a common practice in many countries to stimulate economic growth, and coal is the most commonly exploited resource. However, the mining process often causes environmental disturbance. Therefore, this research was conducted to analyze the ideal implementation of coal mine reclamation in Indonesia. In the post-mining area, the land is often arid, with voids that are prone to flood and erosion. The reclamation of this area is carried out by returning topsoil, adding organic material, and planting cover crops and fast-growing species. When the topographical conditions have steep slopes, scrap engineering is often added to hills up to a maximum height of 8 meters, trimming the slope with a maximum remaining slope of 35 degrees and making drainage channels with a width of more than 3 meters, a depth of more than 2 meters, and an edge slope of 2-5 percent. Approximately 70.59% of reclamation programs in Indonesia are aimed at reforesting mining areas into secondary forests because they were previously a forest ecosystem. The types of reclamation that had been carried out but were still uncommon included aquaculture, urban forests, parks playground, sports park, cattle farms, and fauna conservation ecotourism. A new approach to reclamation, such as eco-habitat, is important to obtain optimal social, economic, and ecological benefits. This approach involves optimizing sources of livelihood based on area rezoning according to the level of interference, revegetation of plants involving the community, and revitalization of sources of community livelihood, specifically environmental restoration with plant species as sources of food, nutrition, minerals, income, and non-timber forest products. Therefore, the reclamation program should be carried out through a collaborative partnership between companies, local communities, academics, technical ministries, and the media.</p>

“…Ecological studies in field settings frequently use fungicide to eliminate AMF, as opposed to inoculation (Koricheva et al, 2009). Although the methodological constraints of field inoculation are understandable, the ecological effects of fungicide are likely broader than those of inoculation, because fungicide wipes out a wide range of soil microbial mutualists as well as pathogens (Newsham et al, 1995;Schmidt et al, 2000;Qu et al, 2022). In a study of plant-soil feedback effects using 24 grassland species grown in conspecific or interspecific soils, Petermann et al (2008) found that the application of fungicide increased plant biomass in nearly every species, an effect they attributed to fungicides eliminating a broad swath of soil fungal pathogens, thereby increasing plant productivity.…”

Summary Most plants form root hyphal relationships with mycorrhizal fungi, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These associations are known to positively impact plant biomass and competitive ability. However, less is known about how mycorrhizas impact other ecological interactions, such as those mediated by pollinators. We performed a meta‐regression of studies that manipulated AMF and measured traits related to pollination, including floral display size, rewards, visitation, and reproduction, extracting 63 studies with 423 effects. On average, the presence of mycorrhizas was associated with positive effects on floral traits. Specifically, we found impacts of AMF on floral display size, pollinator visitation and reproduction, and a positive but nonsignificant impact on rewards. Studies manipulating mycorrhizas with fungicide tended to report contrasting results, possibly because fungicide destroys both beneficial and pathogenic microbes. Our study highlights the potential for relationships with mycorrhizal fungi to play an important, yet underrecognized role in plant–pollinator interactions. With heightened awareness of the need for a more sustainable agricultural industry, mycorrhizal fungi may offer the opportunity to reduce reliance on inorganic fertilizers. At the same time, fungicides are now ubiquitous in agricultural systems. Our study demonstrates indirect ways in which plant‐belowground fungal partnerships could manifest in plant–pollinator interactions.

“…Plant-soil feedbacks are major drivers of plant growth, long-term survival, and patterns of biodiversity in plant communities, that are especially important in an era of global change (van der Putten et al 2013, Van Nuland et al 2017, Semchenko et al 2022. Through unique alterations in the biological and chemical properties of soil due to plant traits and inputs that lead to changes to the microbial community composition and function, the conditioning effects of plant communities drive patterns of productivity, composition, and succession in future plant communities through soil legacy effects (Li et al 2023;Lu et al 2023;Qu et al 2023). Although plant-soil feedbacks can range from facilitative to inhibitory, microbially mediated legacy effects can persist in the soil for long periods of time after the conditioning plant species have disappeared (Kulmatiski & Beard 2011;Schmid et al 2021).…”

Microbially mediated plant-soil feedbacks drive patterns of plant growth, competitive ability, succession, and community composition. Although rare plant species maintain unique functional traits that often facilitate negative feedbacks, there is not a consensus on the belowground drivers nor the effects of phylogenetic origin of previously plant-conditioned soil on aboveground traits associated with rare species. Using a common garden, we connect belowground fungal colonization to aboveground traits in species varying in rarity, and soil conditions varying in the phylogenetic relatedness of conditioning plant species, to demonstrate the mechanistic relationship between belowground ectomycorrhizal fungal (ECM) colonization and aboveground total plant biomass in 14 Eucalyptus species varying in their rarity status. Specifically, we found that while the rarest species displayed 88% less total biomass than common species, the rarest species also maintained 62% greater ECM colonization than common counterparts. Further, negative feedbacks resulted in reduced biomass coupled with positive feedbacks that resulted in increased ECM colonization that varied on the basis of phylogenetic relatedness. The rarest species decreased by 71% - 94% in total biomass but increased by 96% - 114% in ECM colonization in phylogenetically similar and distant soil compared to conspecific soil conditions. The effect size of ECM colonization directly affected the effect size of total biomass in phylogenetically distant conditions with a significant negative correlation (r^2 = -0.83) to show that biomass may be a function of ECM colonization acting differently among species varying in rarity. Consequently, rare plant species may utilize stronger associations with belowground mycorrhizal mutualists than common plant species, to facilitate geographic, competitive, and functional persistence, even while maintaining lower biomass.
