Abstract
Besides uptake of nutrients by roots, plants can acquire nutrients through arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF play a crucial role in plant growth and competition. However, few studies have investigated the effects of AMF on root foraging and competition between invasive and native species in response to heterogeneous nutrients. Two pairs of invasive and native plants of the Asteraceae family were selected to create a common garden experiment involving three factors (heterogeneous vs. homogeneous phosphorus (P), with vs. without AMF, and monoculture vs. mixture). The results showed that AMF significantly reduced the foraging scale of the invasive species, Bidens pilosa, and decreased the precision of the invasive species, Praxelis clematidea, and the native species, Emilia sonchifolia. In monoculture, AMF significantly decreased the total biomass of the two invasive species under heterogeneous P rather than homogeneous P, which was confirmed by N and P uptake. In mixture, heterogeneity significantly decreased the tolerance competitive ability of B. pilosa but increased that of P. clematidea. In the homogeneous P, AMF significantly decreased the suppression ability of B. pilosa, while in the heterogeneous P, AMF decreased that of P. clematidea. Heterogeneous P with AMF increased the suppression ability of B. pilosa but decreased that of P. clematidea. The interactive effects of AMF and soil P distribution on root foraging and nutrient uptake and competition differ among the four species and show invasive-native pair differences. These findings provide valuable insights into the interactive effects and highlight the context dependency of these interactions.
除了通过根部吸收养分外,植物还可以通过丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)获取养分。AMF 在植物生长和竞争中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,很少有研究调查了AMF对入侵物种和本地物种在异质养分条件下根系觅食和竞争的影响。研究人员选择了两对菊科入侵植物和本地植物,创建了一个涉及三个因素(异质磷(P)与同质磷(P)、有AMF与无AMF、单一栽培与混合栽培)的普通花园实验。结果表明,AMF 显著降低了入侵物种 Bidens pilosa 的觅食规模,并降低了入侵物种 Praxelis clematidea 和本地物种 Emilia sonchifolia 的精确度。在单一栽培条件下,AMF 能显著减少两种入侵物种在异质磷条件下的总生物量,而不是均质磷条件下的总生物量,氮和磷的吸收也证实了这一点。在混合栽培中,异质性明显降低了 B. pilosa 的耐受竞争能力,但提高了 P. clematidea 的耐受竞争能力。在均质 P 中,AMF 明显降低了 B. pilosa 的抑制能力,而在异质 P 中,AMF 则降低了 P. clematidea 的抑制能力。含有 AMF 的异质营养土提高了对 B. pilosa 的抑制能力,但降低了对 P. clematidea 的抑制能力。AMF 与土壤中 P 的分布对根系觅食、养分吸收和竞争的交互作用在四种物种之间存在差异,并显示出入侵-本地物种对的差异。这些发现为了解交互作用提供了宝贵的见解,并突出了这些交互作用的环境依赖性。
