Precipitation and temperature shape the biogeography of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi across the Brazilian Caatinga

Deterministic and neutral processes shape the biogeography of fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), an important group of plant root symbionts, remains poorly studied in the Neotropics. Here, we provided the first molecular survey of AMF diversity and tested whether the environment or space shapes AMF biogeography along a 12° latitudinal transect in the Brazilian Caatinga, a unique tropical dry forest ecoregion.
