Community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with Robinia pseudoacacia in uncontaminated and heavy metal contaminated soils (2015, unknown): “Most current studies are based on spore counts and on morphological identification of AMF spores extracted directly from the field (Gai et al., 2006; Symanczik et al., 2014; Wetzel et al., 2014; de Oliveira Freitas et al., 2014).”
Cover cropping and no-till increase diversity and symbiotroph:saprotroph ratios of soil fungal communities (2019, background): “For example, AMF consistently experience reduction in numbers, root colonization rates and diversity with tillage (Helgason et al., 2010; Schnoor et al., 2011; Wetzel et al., 2014; Säle et al., 2015; Jesus et al., 2016).”
Contrasting effects of cover crops on ‘hot spot’ arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in organic tomato (2014, background): “Remarkably, it was repeatedly shown recently that classical spore identification might be even superior to molecular identification for AMF diversity studies (e.g. compare Oehl et al. 2004; 2005 with Hijri et al. 2006; Wetzel et al. 2014).”
