Mycorrhizal and endophytic richness and colonization in Cedrela odorata L., in agroforestry systems and secondary forest from southeastern Costa Rica

The roots of different forest species show mixed colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate fungi (DSE). In temperate ecosystems, AMF colonization and community structure change according to plantation age, while colonization by DSE is apparently unaffected. However, in trop...

Description
Summary:The roots of different forest species show mixed colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate fungi (DSE). In temperate ecosystems, AMF colonization and community structure change according to plantation age, while colonization by DSE is apparently unaffected. However, in tropical ecosystems, little has been documented on the possible changes caused by plantation age on mycorrhizal fungal communities. We analyzed AMF and DSE colonization and described the glomerospore community structure associated with three agroforestry systems of different Cedrela odorata plantation ages (8, 13 and 17 years), in addition to a secondary forest, during the dry season in southeastern Costa Rica. We detected statistical differences in total colonization in the agroforestry systems with respect to the secondary forest ( P
