This article examines the impact of aboveground insect herbivory on the diversity and composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities in plant roots. The study suggests that herbivory can affect the assembly of AM fungal communities, but the specific effects vary. While herbivory did not significantly reduce AM fungal richness, it did increase community evenness. The study also found that herbivory altered the composition and structure of AM fungal communities, leading to increased phylogenetic diversity. Additionally, plants with herbivores benefited more from AM fungi in terms of phosphorus acquisition compared to herbivore-free plants. These findings highlight the potential influence of aboveground herbivory on plant performance and nutrient acquisition. [Extracted from the article] |
