  abstract = {{I}ncreasing interest has been given so far to the role of mycorrhizal symbiosis on plant diversity and ecosystem productivity. {H}owever much remains unknown about the effect of ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity on plant growth and rhizobial symbiosis. {T}he purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of ectomycorrhizal diversity on root nodulation and plant nutrient uptake during plant growth. {A} gradient of ectomycorrhizal diversity was created (ranged from one to six fungal isolates) on {A}ustralian {A}cacia ({A}cacia mangium) seedlings grown on a phosphate-deficient soil in controlled conditions. {T}he results dearly show (i) an enhancement of {A}. mangium growth due to ectomycorrhizal fungal inoculation, (ii) as well as significant effects of increasing ectomycorhizal diversity and soil ectomycorrhizal mycelium density on whole plant biomass and plant nutrient uptake. {T}hey also reveal an effect of ectomycorrhizal diversity effect on the functioning of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. {T}hese results emphasize the need to manage soil ectomycorrhizal potential (abundance and diversity of ectomycorrhizal mycelium) in forest management practices in order to optimize {N}-2 fixation and seedling growth, leading thus to dramatic improvements in outplanting performances with fast-growing tree legumes on various reafforestation sites, more particularly in tropical and {M}editerranean areas.},
