Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spore density and species diversity varied within plants species and between dry Afromontane forests in northwestern Ethiopia

Ethiopian Afromontane forests are rich in biodiversity and they a part of the eastern biodiversity hotspot. However, they are the most degraded ecosystems, continuously shrinking in size. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a symbiotic association with land plants; thereby as...

Cropland type shapes arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) population density and species diversity in Northwest Ethiopia

AMF play critical function in soil fertility and plant nutrition, especially in absorption and translocation of immobile nutrients. Farm and soil fertility management activities enhance crop yield; however, they either positively or negatively impact the AMF population and divers...
