The
results indicate that manure amendment may benefit soil AMF
growth and crop yield, and that soil pH and K were the dominant
environmental factors regarding AMF community composition.
Furthermore, the soil C:P ratio strongly influenced the soil AMF
community and root AMF Shannon index. This study has improved
our understanding of the impacts of organic and/or mineral
fertilization practices on the high-input ago-ecosystems, and
suggests that the ratio of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer
are of great importance to improving agricultural economy as well
as sustaining soil qualit
