Specimens of Araucaria angustifolia from a native forest reserve and a reforested area in the State Park of Campos do Jordão were studied to determine the number and diversity of spore populations of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root colonization. Six randomly chosen plots (planted with 8- to 12-year-old plants) were delimited, four in the native forest and two in the reforested area. Rhizosphere and root samples were collected during two periods of the year corresponding to the rainy and dry seasons. A greenhouse experiment was set up for multiplication of field propagules (from the native forest and reforested area) for two consecutive generations. Araucaria leaves from the experimental plots were collected during the first sampling for nutrient analysis. Twenty-four AMF taxa were found and percent AM colonization was determined in all plots. Not all AMF species observed in the field were re-isolated through the recovery pot cultures, even after a second cultivation cycle. The foliar nutrient analysis showed higher nutrient levels in plants from the native forest than the reforested area. Generally, spore richness and diversity were highest during the warmer and more humid period and in the native forest plants. |
