communities involve direct consumption of AMF hyphae or fine roots colonized by AMF (Bonkowski et al. 2000), increased physical disturbance through burrowing actions (Gange and Brown 2002), increased nutrient availability in the soil (see McLean et al. 2006) and decrease soil organic matters (Frelich et al. 2006). Direct consumption of hyphae and physical disturbances may disrupt the contact of external hyphae with AMF-dependent or other host plants and can substantially decrease the AMF biomass…
