Abstract

The Abras de Mantequilla wetland, located in Ecuador, is considered a RAMSAR site because of its extreme importance for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, this place faces challenges due to human activities such as water extraction, deforestation and fishing exploitation. There is a pressing need to protect this wetland not only to maintain its biodiversity, but also for its essential functions, such as water retention and purification. The present study focused on soil fertility, particularly in relation to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), in the secondary forest “Noé Morán” within the Abras de Mantequilla wetland. The key role of AMF in improving soil fertility was highlighted. The methods used included soil sampling and identification of AMF species, as well as analysis of soil physical and chemical properties. Soil samples were collected from the root zone of four tree species (Castilla elástica, Albizia saman, Erythrina poeppigiana and Duguetia peruviana) and taken to the laboratory for analysis. The results showed differences in soil physicochemical properties among the forest species studied, as well as variations in the abundance and diversity of AMF species associated with each tree species. The importance of understanding these soil-plant-microorganism interactions for promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the Abras de Mantequilla wetland.
