Abstract
More than 80％of plants form mutualistic symbiotic relationships with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF),and the application of fertilizers,such as nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)fertilizers,is a common agricultural management practice to improve crop yield and quality.However,the potential effects of long-term N and P fertilization on the AMF community in the rainfed agricultural system of the Loess Plateau of China are still not well understood.In this study,a long-term field experiment was conducted based on orthogonal design,with three N levels(0,90,and 180 kg ha-1 year-1)and three P levels(0,90,and 180 kg ha-1 year-1)for wheat fertilization.Changes in AMF community and correlations between AMF community composition,soil environmental factors,and wheat yield component traits were analyzed using traditional biochemical methods and high-throughput sequencing technology.The results showed that long-term N and P addition had a significant effect on the AMF community structure and composition.Nitrogen application alone significantly reduced the richness and diversity of AMF community,whereas the combined application of N and P significantly increased the richness and diversity of AMF community.The AMF community was driven mainly by soil available P,total P,and pH.There was a significant positive correlation between Glomus abundance and wheat yield and a significant negative correlation between Paraglomus abundance and wheat yield.Long-term N and P addition directly increased crop yield and affected yield indirectly by influencing soil chemical properties and the AMF community.Combined application of N and P both at 90 kg ha-1 year-1 could improve the ecological and physiological functions of the AMF community and benefit the sustainable development of rainfed agriculture.
