Review: roles of mycorrhizal symbioses and associated soil microbiomes in ecological restoration by Christine Lethielleux-Juge

“…A similar recovery period was observed for fungal communities in forest restoration, where ectomycorrhizal mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) species dominate, and diversity increased with time post-revegetation, influenced by edaphic variables and tree species. Under heavy metal (HM) contamination, microorganism classes, enzymes, and AMF efficiency vary with time, soil parameters, restoration treatments, plant species, and levels of soil contamination, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria being often predominant. …”
