Grazing as one of the most important disturbances affects the abundance, diversity and community composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in ecosystems, but the AM fungi in response to grazing in wetland ecosystems remain poorly documented. Here, we examined AM fungi in roots and soil in grazing and non-grazing plots in Zoige wetland on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Grazing significantly increased AM fungal spore density and glomalin-related soil proteins, but had no significant effect on the extra radical hyphal density of AM fungi. While AM fungal richness and community composition differed between roots and soil, grazing was found to influence only the community composition in soil. This study shows that moderate grazing can increase the biomass of AM fungi and soil carbon sequestration, and maintain the AM fungal diversity in the wetland ecosystem. This finding may enhance our understanding of the AM fungi in response to grazing in the wetland on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
