Abstract

Mycorrhizal fungi play key roles in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. The main types of mycorrhizal associations are arbuscular mycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizae, ericoid mycorrhizae and orchid mycorrhizae. Previous studies have shown that the abundance of plants with different types of mycorrhizal associations change gradually along latitudinal and altitudinal gradients driven by the effects of climate and soil nutrients. We aimed to understand how altitude and climatic and soil variables shape the distribution patterns of tropical plant mycorrhizal types and nitrogen-fixing plants along altitudinal gradients in the Andes.

热带安第斯山脉沿海拔梯度菌根类型的多样性

菌根真菌在陆地生态系统的运作中发挥着关键作用。菌根结合的主要类型包括丛枝菌根、外生菌根、麦角菌根和兰科菌根。以往的研究表明，在气候和土壤养分的影响下，具有不同类型菌根结合的植物的丰度会沿着纬度和海拔梯度逐渐发生变化。我们旨在了解海拔高度、气候和土壤变量如何影响热带植物菌根类型和固氮植物在安第斯山脉海拔梯度上的分布模式。

期刊介绍： Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.
