Conservation Translocation (CT), which includes reintroduction, reinforcement and introduction, is gaining momentum, responding to serious population decline in many orchids. Orchid conservation underpinned by a greater emphasis on understanding biotic abiotic factors of habitats critical for successful recovery restoration programmes. Anacamptis morio, commonly known as green-winged orchid (GWO), terrestrial found throughout Europe, but populations England rapidly declined its native range the last several decades.

Habenaria and Liparis are well-known orchid genera that grow in terrestrial habitats the tropics, subtropics or temperate zones. Three species have been found subtropical regions of China, inhabiting to epiphytic habitats. This study focuses on three species, H. dentata (distributed Asia), yachangensis, L. gigantea. For yachangensis gigantea, there is no information about mycorrhizal community these species. aims conduct fungal screening Chinese ground orchids from regions. We performed a comparative analysis among dentata, determining their ITS using NGS paired-end sequences. The results clarified diversity predominance genera. Ascomycota was abundant compared Basidiomycota other fungi groups all communities, with high dominance populations, especially for At different root spatial locations, richness were higher soil than rhizosphere inner root. However, suggest gigantea has In this order, network northern orchids. Also, probability co-existence co-evolution endophytic orchids, indicating potential role host plants selecting an community. Furthermore, our highlight need elucidate microbe interactions unique long-term purposes, such as isolating indigenous suitable inoculants further propagation, restoration, conservation.
