Abstracts |
The arbuscular mycorrzhizal (AM) colonization and spore density in barren grassland and primary forest in Shangri-la subalpine areas of northwest Yunnan province were investigated. All the ten plant species in barren grassland and nine plant species in primary forest were found to be colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and the average AMF spore density in two vegetation types were 674┬▒221/100 g soil and 290┬▒72/100 g soil respectively. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the AMF hypha colonization and spore density varied significantly between the two vegetation types. The plant species common to the two sampled sites had high AM fungal colonization in primary forest and high AMF spore density in barren grassland. No significant correlation between AM colonization and spore density was observed when vegetation types were either considered separately or together. |
