Correlation of changes in mycorrhizal community and diversity of rare species on abandoned fields

Economic and social changes of the last 20 years have led to many places to leave a large number of agricultural fields. At present, the efforts to restore species-rich grassland communities in these abandoned agricultural fields. Abandoned fields are seen as potential habitat for endangered species of semi-natural dry grasslands. Currently, a large effort to restore them back to the species-rich dry grasslands. Due to the long-term agricultural practices degrade soil communities and thereby lose their original function in abandoned fields. For the restoration of agricultural areas under cultivation back to the species-rich dry grasslands appear to be a key factor in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities. The negative effect of agricultural practices on AMF communities has serious implications for the diversity and structure of plant communities of abandoned fields. Therefore, the aim of this work understanding the importance of AM fungi for possible restoration of plant communities on abandoned agricultural fields. In this paper we compare two different types of inoculum (grassland, fallow land ) to support the survival and growth of target plant species of dry grasslands on a abandoned field two approaches - sowing and planting. We assumed that the inoculum of species-rich dry grasslands..
