  abstract = {{C}ontext {L}and salinization is a serious problem worldwide that mainly leads to soil degradation and reduces crop productivity. {T}hese degraded areas could be rehabilitated by planting salt-tolerant species like {C}asuarina glauca {S}ieb. and {C}asuarina equisetifolia {L}. {T}hese are pioneer plants, able to form symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ({AMF}), ectomycorrhizal fungi ({EMF}), and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. {A}ims {T}he aim of this study was to select the highest salt-tolerant combination of {C}asuarina/ {AMF} that can be used for the rehabilitation of lands degraded by salinity. {M}ethods {C}. equisetifolia and {C}. glauca were grown in sandy sterile soil in the greenhouse and inoculated separately with {R}hizophagus fasciculatus ({T}haxt.) {C}. {W}alker & {A}. {S}chussler, {R}hizophagus aggregatus ({N}.{C}. {S}chenck & {G}.{S}. {S}m.) {C}. {W}alker, and {R}hizophagus intraradices ({N}.{C}. {S}chenck & {G}.{S}. {S}m.) {C}. {W}alker & {A}. {S}chussler. {A}fter confirming the establishment of a symbiosis, the plants were watered with gradually increasing concentrations of saline solution. {A}fter harvest, size and biomass of the seedlings, root colonization by {AMF}, and {AMF} metabolic activities were evaluated. {R}esults {A} larger growth was obtained in the two species when the individuals were inoculated with {R}. fasciculatus. {R}oot colonization rates did not differ among fungal species, but fungal metabolic activities were higher in mycorrhizal roots of {C}. glauca plants inoculated with {R}. fasciculatus. {C}onclusion {A}mong the three mycorrhizal fungi, {R}. fasciculatus was more efficient in association with {C}asuarinaceae species under salt stress. {O}ur results suggest that selection of appropriate fungal strains is crucial to improve plant performance in saline soils.},
