Abstract: As an important symbiont composed of mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots, mycorrhizas affect water absorption and nutrient transportation in the plantsoil system, with consequence on vegetation growth. Under global environmental change, vegetation growth is suffered from multiple stresses. It is of great significance to systematically understand the underlying processes and mechanisms for the effects of mycorrhiza on vegetation growth in a changing environment. We summarized the research progress on the interactions between mycorrhiza and vegetation growth under changing environment, particularly emphasizing on the relationships between mycorrhiza and vegetation growth under nutrient limitation, drought stress, salt stress, and heavy metal stress. Then, we briefly summarized the mechanisms and modes underlying the effects of mycorrhiza on vegetation growth under changing environment. Finally, we summarized the key know ledge gaps in the current research. We propose that it is crucial to systematically study the mycorrhizal ecology and uncover the mechanisms underlying the mycorrhiza effects on plant growth and vegetation restoration, which is important for sustainable ecological restoration and construction under the background of rapid global environmental changes.

Key words: mycorrhiza-plant-environment, plant growth, environmental stress, environmental change, vegetation restoration.
