摘要: Interactions with soil microbiota determine the success of restoring plants to their native habitats. The goal our study was understand effects restoration practices on interactions giant sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota). Natural regeneration is threatened by absence severe fires that create forest canopy gaps. Generating artificial gaps offers an alternative tool for restoration. We investigated effect practices, including (i) sapling location within gaps, (ii) gap size and (iii) substrate, AM fungal colonization roots in a grove Sierra Nevada, California. found extent root positively correlated height light availability, which were related size. While frequency arbuscules sap...
