Abstract

This study examined the effects of deciduous trees on the abundance of composition and their associated soil mycoflora, comparing them with an evergreen tree. Soil samples were collected from under two deciduous species, Tectona Grandis and Parkia Bigloobosa, and an evergreen species, Mangafera Indica's canopies. Potato dextrose agar standard microorganism enrichment techniques were used to separate fungi, which were characterized by morphological. Soil physical chemical properties, including pH, organic matter and nutrient material, were also analyzed. The results indicated that, despite being the highest nutrient content, evergreen M. The soil under the Indica performed the lowest fungal colony counts (0.19–0.28). In contrast, soil under deciduous trees, especially p. Biglobosa, supported much more fungi abundance (2.40–2.58). The leading fungi generations identified under deciduous trees were Aspergillus, Penicillium and Rhizopus, while Candida M. Was more prevalent under Indica. Conclusions suggest that deciduous trees promote more abundant and diverse soil fungus community than an evergreen tree. This suggests that factories such as pH and quality of organic matter are important in shaping the soil mycoflora instead of the amount of sheer nutrients. The study concludes that selecting species of deciduous tree like Parkia Biglobosa can be a strategic tool for increasing earthen biological health and fertility in management practices.
