  abstract = {{R}ubber tree ({H}evea brasiliensis) is of major economic importance in {S}outheast {A}sia and for small land holders in {T}hailand in particular. {D}ue to the high value of latex, plantations are expanding into unsuitable areas, such as the northeast province of {T}hailand where soil fertility is very low and therefore appropriate management practices are of primary importance. {A}rbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ({AMF}) contribute to plant growth through a range of mechanisms and could play a key role in a more sustainable management of the rubber plantations. {W}e described the diversity of {AMF} associated with rubber tree roots in {N}ortheast {T}hailand in relation to tree age and soil parameters along a chronosequence of rubber tree plantations. {C}assava fields were included for comparison. {R}ubber tree and cassava roots harbored high diversity of {AMF} (111 {V}irtual {T}axa, {VT}), including 20 novel {VT}. {AMF} {VT} richness per sample was consistently high (per site mean 16 to 21 {VT} per sample) along the chronosequence and was not related to soil properties. {T}he composition of {AMF} communities differed between cassava and rubber tree plantations and was influenced by soil texture and nutrient content (sand, {K}, {P}, {C}a). {AMF} community composition gradually shifted with the age of the trees. {O}ur results suggest that the high diversity of {AMF} in this region is potentially significant for maintaining high functionality of {AMF} communities.},
