Notes:
Summary Spores of V-A mycorrhizal endophytes were extracted and counted from three different soils under three different rotations; continuous wheat, annual pasture and an alternating crop: pasture rotation. High V-A spore abundance in the autumn fell at the onset of plant growth. Spore abundance remained low under wheat but recovered under pasture regimes in the spring, coincidently with host maturation in all except one of the experiments sampled. Weak positive correlations were found between V-A spore abundance and components of pasture biomass while wheat biomass was negatively correlated with V-A spore numbers.
