Biodiversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in South America: A Review
Identification of species is crucial in understanding how diversity changes affect ecosystemic processes. Particularly, soil microbial are key factors of ecosystemic functioning .Among soil microbes, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, phylum Glomeromycota) are worldwide distributed and form symbiotic associations with almost 80% of the vascular plants of the earth, except for one species, Geosiphon pyriformis, which associates with the cyanobacteria Nostoc. AMF comprise around 300 morphologically defined or 350–1000 molecularly defined taxa. Since AMF associate with aboveground community, their occurrence and composition can influence ecosystemic processes either through affecting plant community composition and thus its processes rates, or soil microbial communities, which are directly involved in nutrient cycling. Soil microorganisms are considered a potentially suitable target for studying regional and local effects on diversity. The symbiosis with AMF not only increases nutrient uptake by the plant of mainly phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in exchange for plant-assimilated carbon (C), but also improves the tolerance of plants to various biotic and abiotic stresses such as pathogens, salinity, and drought

Advances in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Taxonomy
Taxonomy, the science of classifying organisms, describes names, identifies organisms, and generates tools for taxonomic identification of fungi. The products of taxonomy are used by taxonomists and ecologists. Correct species names are deliberately used for instance on land management systems to compare ecological interactions between the different components. Current classification systems of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota) involve both morphological and molecular tools and their progress shows in some measure a natural organization and understanding of the relationships among species. Several research groups have been discussing the taxonomy, systematics, and evolution of AMF. The researchers may propose their classification system; however, most biologists believe that these developing systems only reflect our knowledge at time. This chapter presents an overview of data showing AMF classification, and recent advances are here compiled. Our goal was to provide nonspecialists such as researchers in other fields and land managers with information on historical and recent changes in AMF classification
