Community sequence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Heptacodium miconioides

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered crucial for the survival of many endangered plant species. However, the dynamics of AMF communities in the roots and rhizosphere soil of Heptacodium miconioides, particularly along elevation gradients, remain underexplored. This study investigates AMF community structure in the root and rhizosphere soil of H. miconioides across an elevation range from 306 to 1028 m a.s.l., em-ploying high-throughput sequencing.
