Population Trend: Improving
Habitat and Ecology
In Brazil, this species is registered in different biomes, such as Amazon rainforest, Cerrado, Atlantic rainforest, Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal In different habitats like agrosystems, impacted areas, natural areas, Murundu Fields and rupestrian fields. According to Blaszkowsky, in many studies the species is recorded in sandy soils, especially maritime dunes.
Threats
There are several threats to the conservation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their hosts, most of which are the result of human activities.
