Seasonal variation and drought effects on colonization and community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophytes in desert plants

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate endophytes (DSE) are common root-associated fungal groups in natural ecosystems. However, how their colonization and community composition vary among seasons under natural drought conditions remains unclear. We investigated Populus euphratica and Haloxylon ammodendron...
