Evidence is increasing that soil animal food webs are fueled by root-derived carbon (C) and also by root-derived nitrogen (N). Functioning as link between the above- and belowground system, trees and their species identity are important drivers structuring soil animal communities. A pulse labeling experiment using 15N and 13C was conducted by exposing beech (Fagus sylvatica) and ash (Fraxinus e...

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a group of soil fungi called arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plants. The successful association between plants and AMF constitutes a strategy to improve the nutritional status of both associates, which reduces the use of fertilizers specially phosphorus nutrition (Almagrabi and Abdelmoneim, 2012). The AMF take carbohydrates compounds from their pla...

The presence and composition of soil microbial communities has been shown to have a large impact on plant-plant interactions and consequently plant diversity and composition. The goal of the present study was to evaluate impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which constitutes an essential link between the soil and the plant's roots. A greenhouse pot experime...

The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) brings together the roots of over 80% of land plant species and fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota and greatly benefits plants through improved uptake of mineral nutrients. AM fungi can take up both nitrate and ammonium from the soil and transfer nitrogen (N) to host roots in nutritionally substantial quantities. The current model of N handling in the AM symbiosis ...

Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskular (FMA) berasosiasi dengan sebagian besar tanaman dan mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan produktivitas tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas inokulum FMA terhadap 2 jenis kehutanan (Samanea saman Calliandra surinamensis) 1 pertanian (Zea mays) di tanah tailing. Percobaan pot Rancangan Acak Lengkap dilakukan screen h...

Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil that can promote the growth of their host plants. Accurate quantification AMF in plant roots is important because level colonization often indicative activity these fungi. Root traditionally measured with microscopy methods which visualize fungal structures inside roots. Microscopy labor-intensive, and results depend on observer. In...

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi and cow manure yield sweet corn on Ultisol. research was conducted using a randomized block design (RCBD) in factorial pattern. The first factor is mycorrhizal (AMF) which consists four levels, namely without AMF (A0), 5 g/planting hole (A1), 10 (A2), 15 (A3). second fertilizer (CMF) consisting three CMF (B0), tons ha...
