Mycorrhizas in the South American Mediterranean-Type Ecosystem: Chilean Matorral

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mycorrhizal Fungi in South America

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

One of the most important microorganisms in the soil are the mycorrhizal fungi; however, little research exists regarding mycorrhizal symbiosis on the South American Mediterranean-type ecosystem (MTE) – also commonly known as Chilean matorral. The aims of this chapter are to highlight and compile the existing and arising knowledge on mycorrhizal symbiosis of the Chilean MTE, as well as detect knowledge gaps and propose future directions of research. So far, the mycorrhizal type of some plant species of the Chilean matorral is known. Regarding arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, there are few investigations on mycorrhizal ecology and applied research with agricultural purposes and more is in development. Some ectomycorrhizal and orchid mycorrhizal symbiosis research is available on ecological concerns about biodiversity patterns with applied potential for conservation. The lack of studies on ericoid mycorrhiza was detected. Finally, in spite of the ecological diversity studies carried on the mycorrhiza from the Chilean MTE, further studies quantifying the mycorrhizal contribution should be performed so as to be applied on conservation and sustainable systems.
