Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi belong to the phylum Glomeromycota and form symbioses with more than 80 % of terrestrial plants. They have a range of roles related to soil functions. AM fungi and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are the most abundant and common symbionts in agricultural and forest ecosystems, respectively. The functions of mycorrhizas in sustainable agriculture and forestry ecosystems are well demonstrated. In this review, we highlight functions of AM and ECM fungi in native forest ecosystems and the function of AM fungi in agricultural ecosystems.
