TL;DR: AM status significantly explained the area of occupancy of natives and neophytes – with facultative mycorrhizal species occupying the largest area in both groups – but was less pronounced among archaeophytes, suggesting that native AM fungal partners might be less important for neophytic than for native plant species or that more time is required to establish similar relationships between neophyte and native fungal symbionts.

TL;DR: Alvar grasslands are certainly an example of a community in which the association between the vascular plant and the cryptogam communities may influence the overall vegetation succession, and the strength of this association increases during secondary succession.

TL;DR: Whether the local relative population density of three fern species in Estonia is related to post-emergence growth of their young sporophytes, i.e., that the locally abundant species, D. carthusiana, has the highest vegetative growth in its first growth periods and the two less abundant species , D. dilatata and D. expansa, have lower, is investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a high-throughput sequencing technique to explore arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) diversity and community composition in different habitats across Qatar and identified a total of 79 AM fungal taxa over 77% of which were species from the Glomeraceae family.
