Global change alters the abundance and community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and influences plant mycorrhizal benefit

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play critical roles in ecosystem services and exhibit sensitivity to global change factors (GCFs). However, the interactive effects of multiple GCFs on AM fungal communities, and whether changes in AM fungal have a feedback effect on plant mycorrhizal benefits under global change remain poorly understood.  We synthesized 1,646 observations of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities from field experiments to evaluate how manipulated GCFs affect their abundance and community structure and to determine the potential consequences for outcomes of plant-mycorrhizal fungal relationships. The interactive effects among GCFs were mainly additive rather than synergistic or antagonistic. AM fungal diversity was not consistently sensitive to the individual effects of GCFs; however, a significant shift in community structure occurred under individual or concurrent GCFs. When multiple factors were imposed simultaneously, their negative effect on AM fungal ..., , # Global change alters the abundance and community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and influences plant mycorrhizal benefit
