Abstract
Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a key component of natural and agricultural ecosystems. It enhances
the mineral nutrition and increase tolerance of host plants to environmental and biological stress
particularly in extreme environments. In this study, the changes in spore abundance of AM
fungus Paraglomus occultum was compared in two neighbouring habitat in central deserts of
Iran. Farming practice applied over 12 years sharply increased P. occultum spore population in
this region.
