Research topics from publications: Diversity characteristics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities in the soil along successional altitudes of Helan Mountain, arid, and semi-arid regions of China; Distribution Characteristics and Influence Factors of Rhizosphere Glomalin-Related Soil Protein in Three Vegetation Types of Helan Mountain, China. Representative work: Introduction Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) perform a vital role in terrestrial ecosystems. Methods To investigate the diversity of AMF communities on the western slope of Helan Mountain at different altitudes and their influence factors, high-throughput sequencing was used to study the structure and diversity of soil AMF communities under different environments and their interrelationships between AMF and environmental factors. Results The results revealed that there were significant differences ( p < 0.05) in the physical and chemical properties of the soil along the different altitudes. A total of 1,145 OTUs were obtained by high-throughput sequencing, belonging to 1 phylum, 4 clas To reveal distribution characteristics of glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) and it’s influencing factors under different vegetation types in the drought-tolerant shrubland of Helan Mountain, we chose three vegetation types as study subjects: Stipa breviflora (Grassland, G), Amygdalus mongolica (Shrub, S), and Stipa breviflora-Amygdalus mongolica (Grassland-Shrub, G×S) and bare soil was used as the control (CK). The contents of easily extractable glomalin-related soil protein (EE-GRSP) and total glomalin-related soil protein (T-GRSP), soil physicochemical properties, colonization rate, spore density, and species abundance in the rhizosphere soil were determined. The results indicated that
