The data present here come from samples collected during three research projects (CD_Melo_PhD; CD_Melo_Postdoc; FCT - PTDC /AGR-ALI/122152/2010) which aimed to assess the impact of land use type on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) diversity and composition in pastures of Terceira Island (Azores, Macaonesia, Portugal), and also in native forest of two Azorean Islands (Terceira and São Miguel; Azores, Macaonesia, Portugal). Both projects contributed to improving the knowledge of AMF community structure at both local and regional scalesSampling Description
Study Extent
This dataset was obtained from different sampling campaigns performed between 2007 and 2013 in two islands of the Azores archipelago, São Miguel and Terceira IslandsSampling
Open pot trap cultures (Gilmore 1968) were established from each soil sample collected at semi-natural and intensive pastures with 1-week-old Zea mays seedlings (Melo et al. 2014). Soil samples collected from native forest were used to establish two open pot trap cultures, one with 1-week-old Z. mays seedlings and another one with micropropagated J. brevifolia and P. azorica seedlingsMethod steps
- The data has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardised format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table (events) contains 226 records and one data table extension also exists (occurrence), with 665 records. The extension supplies extra information about the core record
