Abstracts |
Morphological types of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungi in weeds of vacant land were examined in spring and
autumn. In total, 33 plant species belonging to 28 genera in 13
families were examined. The number of plant species with
Arum-type AM was higher than those with Paris- or intermediate
types in both seasons. Thus, Arum-type colonization may be
beneficial for fast-growing plant species on vacant land. There
was a strong relationship between plant identity and AM
morphological type, as the colonization types were mostly
distinguished at the plant family level
