Abstract

Summary: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ( AMF ) perform an important ecosystem service by improving plant nutrient capture from soil, yet little is known about how AMF influence soil microbial communities during nutrient uptake. We tested whether an AMF modifies the soil microbial community and nitrogen cycling during litter decomposition. A two‐chamber microcosm system was employed to create a root‐free soil environment to control AMF access to 13 C ‐ and 15 N ‐labelled root litter. Using a 16 S rRNA gene microarray, we documented that approximately 10% of the bacterial community responded to the AMF , G lomus hoi . Taxa from the F irmicutes responded positively to AMF , while taxa from the Actinobacteria and Comamonadaceae responded negatively to AMF . Phylogenetic analyses indicate that AMF may influence bacterial community assembly processes. Using nanometre‐scale secondary ion mass spectrometry ( NanoSIMS ) we visualized the location of AMF ‐transported 13 C and 15 N in plant roots. Bulk isotope ratio mass spectrometry revealed that the AMF exported 4.9% of the litter 15 N to the host plant ( P lantago lanceolata L .), and litter‐derived 15 N was preferentially exported relative to litter‐derived 13 C . Our results suggest that the AMF primarily took up N in the inorganic form, and N export is one mechanism by which AMF could modify the soil microbial community and decomposition processes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
