b AM status and AM morphotype previously reported in the studied species (S), genera (G) and families (F) according to the checklists: 1 Wang and Qiu (2006), 2 Dickson et al. (2007), and the reports published thereafter or not included in the checklists: 3 Sathiyadash et al. (2010), 4 Shah et al. (2009), 5 Muthukumar and Prakash (2009), 6 Weishampel and Bedfor (2006), 7 Zubek and Błaszkowski (2009), 8 Zubek et al. (2008), 9 Zubek et al. (2011a), 10 Zubek et al. (2011b), 11 Zubek et al. (2012). AM arbuscular mycorrhiza reported without information on AM morphotype, NM non-mycorrhizal, NS not surveyed, A Arum-type, P Paris-type, I intermediate type. The information given in parenthesis indicates rarely observed AM colonization or AM morphotypes in the genera and families

c AM status and morphotype (according to Dickson 2004) observed in this study. A Arum-type, P Paris-type, AP both Arum-type and Paris-type, NM non-mycorrhizal

d The presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Mycorrhizal parameters (percentages; mean ± SD): F mycorrhizal frequency, M relative mycorrhizal root length, A relative arbuscular richness

e Frequency of the occurrence of fungal root endophytes (percentages; mean ± SD): F DSE the mycelium of dark septate endophytes, F Olp the sporangia of Olpidium spp.
