Introduction and persistance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculum

丛枝菌根真菌（AMF）是重要的根系共生体，对植物和生态系统具有许多益处。虽然这些真菌是由人类传播的，但人们对它们在新的生态系统中建立和维持的能力知之甚少。这是一个问题，因为它们不仅作为人类活动和土地使用的结果而移动，而且还作为“生物肥料”应用于管理和受干扰的生态系统。为了理解这种运动的后果，我们需要更多地了解AMF的基本生物学，包括它们对干扰的反应，它们的竞争相互作用以及它们入侵不同系统的能力。我建议根据AMF生活史策略的差异，即允许它们殖民、生长和传播的特征，对它们的入侵成功进行分类。此外，入侵地点的特征也将用于预测入侵成功。这些知识可以用来加强当前的农业/恢复实践，也可以用于管理意外引入AMF的景观。

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important root symbionts that confer many benefits to plants and ecosystems. Although these fungi are spread by humans, little is known about their ability to establish and persist in novel ecosystems. This is a problem because not only do they move as a consequence of human movement and land use, but they are also being applied to managed nd disturbed ecosystems as 'biofertilizer'. To understand the consequences of this movement, we need to learn more about the basic biology of AMF, including their response to disturbance, their competitive interactions and their ability to invade different systems. I propose to classify the invasion success of AMF based on differences in their life history strategies, that is, their traits that allow them to colonize, grow and spread. In addition, the characteristics of the site to be invaded will also be used to predict invasion success. This knowledge can be used to augment current agricultural/restoration practices, and also to manage landscapes where AMF have been introduced accidentally.
