Randomized trial assessed AMF community distribution in distinct Cerrado landscapes, implying ecological insights for conservation.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the distribution and community dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) across different environments in the Brazilian Cerrado.
Evaluated AMF distribution across five primary phases of the Cerrado: Campo Limpo, Campo Sujo, Cerradão, Stricto Sensu, and Veredas.
Identified nine distinct genera of AMF within the rhizospheric soil.
Analyzed ecological affinities of AMF across various Cerrado landscapes.
Identified nine AMF genera: Acaulospora, Claroideoglomus, Diversispora, Scutellospora, Sclerocystis, Glomus, Funneliformis, Gigaspora, and Ambispora.
Established Campo Limpo's strong association with Diversispora, Gigaspora, and Funneliformis.
Found that Cerradão had the lowest affinity for Sclerocystis and Gigaspora.
