Abstracts |
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were inoculated into the seedlings of Elaeagnus mollis, an endangered plant in China. Our objectives were to study the impact of AM fungi inoculation on the soil micro-area in the rhizosphere of E. mollis seedlings using a greenhouse pot experiment. Methods: The experimental design included separate inoculation (Glomus mosseae=GM or Acaulospora delicata=AD) and mixed inoculation (GM+AD); control groups were not inoculated. We determined the infection rate of AM fungi, biomass, infection rate of mycorrhizae, number of microorganisms in the rhizosphere, soil pH, soil enzyme activity, N and P nutrients in the rhizosphere, etc. Important findings: AM fungi infected the three inoculated groups, among which the infection rate of GM+AD was the greatest, up to 90.5%. Compared with the control group, the biomass of inoculated groups improved markedly (pppppE. mollis seedlings and increased soil fertility in the rhizosphere. |
