  abstract = {{I}t is of interest to investigate the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ({AMF}) associated with {V}achellia tortillis ssp. raddiana to provide insights into the contribution of soil properties in shaping the {AMF} community composition and to define new strains for the production of inoculants under arid climate. {A} total of 230 symbiotic {AMF} clones associated with native {V}. tortilis roots growing in arid {T}unisian soils were analyzed using nested {PCR}, cloning, and sequencing of the r{DNA} 18{S} region. {T}he differential effects of soil properties on the diversity and community composition and distribution were also carried out. {P}hylogenetic analyses of four representative clones' libraries grouped them into nine {AMF} operational taxonomic units ({OTU}s) among the {G}lomeraceae family. {T}wo {OTU}s ({OTU}4 and {OTU}7) were separated from any {AMF} reference sequence and may constitute new species within the {G}lomeraceae. {T}he distribution pattern under soil properties showed that high available phosphorus content in the soil and electric conductivity decrease {AMF} diversity and that the remaining soil parameters are correlated with the {AMF} community composition. {S}pecific soil properties associated with the diverse relative distribution of {AMF} species, described for the first time in this work, may serve as a model for studying how spatially distributed {AMF} in a wide range of habitats may be utilized by a pioneering plant with a situation that is frequently occurring at reclaimed sites or in ameliorated soils when a new vegetation cover such as {V}achellia sp. needs to be established.},
