  abstract = {{B}romeliads represent a major component of neotropical forests and encompass a considerable diversity of life forms and nutritional modes. {B}romeliads explore highly stressful habitats and root-associated fungi may play a crucial role in this, but the driving factors and variations in root-associated fungi remain largely unknown. {W}e explored root-associated fungal communities in 17 bromeliad species and their variations linked to host identity, life forms and nutritional modes by using {ITS}1 gene-based high-throughput sequencing and by characterizing fungal functional guilds. {W}e found a dual association of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal fungi. {T}he different species, life forms and nutritional modes among bromeliad hosts had fungal communities that differ in their taxonomic and functional composition. {S}pecifically, roots of epiphytic bromeliads had more endophytic fungi and dark septate endophytes and fewer mycorrhizal fungi than terrestrial bromeliads and lithophytes. {O}ur results contribute to a fundamental knowledge base on different fungal groups in previously undescribed {B}romeliaceae. {T}he diverse root-associated fungal communities in bromeliads may enhance plant fitness in both stressful and nutrient-poor environments and may give more flexibility to the plants to adapt to changing environmental conditions.},
