Research Progress on the Effect of Mycorrhizal Fungal on Ecological Restoration in Coal Mining Areas
Coal mining causes great destruction to the physical and chemical properties,structure,vegetation growth,and community diversity of the soil surface.At the same time,soil microorganisms are also severely dis-turbed,resulting in low biodiversity and poor community stability of artificially planted vegetation.Mycorrhizal fun-gi are an important functional microorganism that can promote host plant growth through mutualistic symbiosis with plant root,and can also affect soil physical and chemical properties,improve soil particle structure,and regulate the structure of plant communities through underground common mycorrhizal network.They play a significant role in ecological restoration of mining areas.This article summarizes the research progress of mycorrhizal fungi in ecologi-cal restoration of mining areas in recent years,including their classification,ecological characteristics,and their ap-plication in soil improvement,vegetation restoration,and environmental protection in mining areas.At the same time,the future research direction and focus are proposed based on the current problems and challenges.
