  abstract = {{B}ackground & {A}ims {B}etter understanding of belowground interactions in agroforestry systems is crucial for the success of plant co-existence. {B}eyond root competition, associated arbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) fungi can also be involved in plant to plant interactions. {T}hus far, the contribution of each agroforestry component (trees, herbaceous vegetation beneath trees -{HV}b{T}- and crops) in the establishment and maintenance of {AM} communities is poorly documented, particularly in temperate areas. {T}his study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of both roots and {AM} fungi in two alley-cropping sites located in southwestern {F}rance. {M}ethods {O}ver a one-year period, (i) root length density, production and distribution, (ii) {AM} activity (root mycorrhization rate and extra-radical hyphal production) and (iii) {AM} diversity (metabarcoding) were assessed at different distances from tree rows in two agroforestry systems. {R}esults {T}he mycorrhization rate and hyphal production increased at the interface between tree rows and cultivated alleys, showing a positive effect of the presence of a perennial system (tree and {HV}b{T}) and of plant diversity. {C}ompared to {HV}b{T}, tree roots colonized farther into superficial layers of the cultivated alleys. {H}owever, due to higher root densities and well-established {AM} fungi observed throughout all the year, {HV}b{T} appeared to be more relevant in maintaining an active source of {AM} inoculum for newly developing crop roots in winter. {C}onclusion {T}he spatial proximity of roots and common {AM} fungi provides new perspectives in deciphering the significance of arbuscular mycorrhizal communities in crop nutrition and yield in agroforestry systems.},
