- Glomeromycota
- Members of the Glomeromycota are also known as the arbuscular mycorhizal fungi (AMF). This type of fungi is found on the roots of about 80% of vascular plants, where it helps the plant capture nutrients from the soil. The tremendous advances in research on mycorrhizal physiology and ecology over the past 40 years have led to a greater understanding of the multiple roles of AMF in the ecosystem. This knowledge is applicable to human endeavors of ecosystem management, ecosystem restoration, and agriculture.
