59that soil characteristics <strong>and</strong> disturbancecondition are variable from one habitat toanother. In this regard Reeves et al.(1979) found that when plantcommunities are disturbed as in miningor road constriction, non-mycorrhizalabiotic conditions of the inl<strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong>dune habitat. Also, the role of VAMfungal infection in s<strong>and</strong> dunesstabilization, <strong>and</strong> early nutrient relationof young seedlings are my goals infurther studies.plant species predominate. Also,Moorman <strong>and</strong> Reeves (1979) found G.fasciculatum propagules weresignificantly reduced from 77% infectionat middle elevation sagebrush community(MES) site to 1% at disturbed stripcounty road.Based on observations from VAMecological studies, I think that inl<strong>and</strong>s<strong>and</strong> dune vegetated cover, <strong>and</strong> soilphysical <strong>and</strong> chemical propertiessignificantly influence VAM fungalgeneric <strong>and</strong> species frequencies <strong>and</strong> maymodify different types ofsurvivalstrategies. As yet, I still have no ideahow long VAM propagules in active <strong>and</strong>disturbed s<strong>and</strong> dunes will survive.Further studies <strong>and</strong> new methods arerequired to clarify VAM fungalstrategies that operate under the variable
