Functional Characteristics of Fungal Communities in the Rhizosphere of the Endangered Plant <i>Abies ziyuanensis</i>.

ABSTRACT: First discovered in 1977, Abies ziyuanensis (Pinaceae) is listed as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); its population continues to decline. Analyzing the rhizospheric fungal communities in the two largest populations of A. ziyuanensis within the Yinzhu Laoshan National Nature Reserve in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, and factors influencing the rhizosphere will establish a theoretical framework for the reintroduction of A. ziyuanensis. This study used ITS rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing and statistical data analysis to compare the functional diversity and structure of the molecular ecological network of rhizospheric fungal communities between A. ziyuanensis populations in Yinzhu Laoshan mountain in
