Plant community reassembly on restored semi-natural grasslands lags behind the assembly of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities KU Leuven
The emerging plant communities on restored semi-natural grasslands are generally species poor subsets of the ancient target communities. Soil inoculation experiments suggest that the lack of suitable microbial communities, and especially of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), may con-tribute to the low restoration success. To understand the limiting role that AMF play in mediating plant community assembly, we used pyrosequencing to investigate ...
