Aims The present study aimed to 1) determine the extent of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi symbiosis with Amygdalus scopariain in Melah‐Roteh region in Dareshahr City, western Iran, and 2) model the presence or absence of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on Almonds (A. scoparia) in relation to soil physicochemical properties.

Soil samples were processed in the laboratory to extract and identify spores and fungi, determine spore frequency, and to measure physicochemical soil properties. Findings The results of two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) classification showed that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi symbiotic with
