Impact of ecological stages on the soil microbiota and soil abiotic factors in tropical and subtropical Brazilian regions
Our aim was to test if ecological stages may influence the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), nematodes, and the soil chemical properties in agroforestry systems (AF), unassisted forest restoration (UFR), and natural ecosystem (Ne) located in the Brazilian Tropical and Subtropical regions.

Summary: | Our aim was to test if ecological stages may influence the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), nematodes, and the soil chemical properties in agroforestry systems (AF), unassisted forest restoration (UFR), and natural ecosystem (Ne) located in the Brazilian Tropical and Subtropical regions. We collected soil samples to determine AMF, nematodes, soil pH, P, and soil organic carbon (SOC). AMF and nematode richness in the AF and Ne were similar in the tropical region. The redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that the abundance of AMF and soil nematodes was mainly affected by soil pH, P, and SOC. Differences were associated with (1) ecological stages, as we found differences in AMF and nematode abundance as affected by habitat simplification, and (2) changes in soil pH, SOC, and P. Our work increases the understanding of the AMF and soil nematode community in the rhizosphere of AF and Ne in tropical and subtropical regions. |
