ABSTRACT
The great achievements in combating desertification are attributed to large-scale afforestation, yet we lack verification of how the stability of the fungal community changes in afforestation areas in desert environments. Here, we present the fungal network structure from different niches (root and bulk soil) of plantations of Mongolian pine, a crucial species for afforestation introduced widely in desertification regions. We assessed changes in community complexity and stability of root-associated fungi (RAF) and soil fungi (SF) among different introduction sites the Hulunbuir Desert (HB), the Horqin Desert (HQ) and the Mu Us Desert (MU). To illuminate the complexity and stability of the fungal network, the differences in topological properties, fungal function, and vegetation and environmental factors between introduction sites were fully considered. We showed that (1) the SF networks had more nodes and edges than the RAF networks. There was a lower ratio of negativepositive cohesion of RAF networks in HB and MU. For SF but not for RAF, across the three introduction sites, a higher modularity and ratio of negativepositive cohesion indicated higher stability. (2) Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi were the dominant functional group in the RAF network (especially in HQ), and were only significantly correlated with vegetation factor. There was a higher relative abundance and number of OTUs of saprophytic fungi in the SF network and they showed positive correlations with soil nutrients. (3) RAF and SF network complexity and stability showed different responses to environmental and vegetation variables. The key determinant of the complexity and stability of the SF networks in Mongolian pine plantations was soil nutrients, followed by climate conditions. The composition and structure of the RAF community was closely related to host plants. Therefore, clarifying the complexity and stability of fungal communities in afforestation areas in changing desert environments is helpful for understanding the interactions between the environment, plants and fungi.
