礦區開採造成土壤物理及化學性質的遽烈改變，致使植生回復不易。研究指出菌根菌與植物共生能提高植物對不良生育地的適應能力，加速植生回復。本研究調查台灣東部及西部各2處廢棄礦區，探討石灰石廢棄礦區植生回復過程中土壤中菌根菌組成之變化，並建立石灰石地型特殊棲地菌根菌組成基本資料。調查結果顯示東部蘇澳與花蓮兩處樣區植生共生真菌並無明顯差異，以Acaulospora spinosa, Acaulospora kentinensis, Diversispora spurca 及 Glomus deserticola為優勢菌種。西部關西及大崗山二處樣區之共生真菌則有明顯差異，關西樣區以Glomus ambisporum,Glomus versiforme與Paraglomus occultum為優勢菌種，而大崗山樣區則是以Ambispora granatensis及Claroideoglomus claroideum為優勢菌種。

Mining causes intense changes in the physical and chemical properties of the soil, that results in difficulty of plant recovery. More and more research indicates that mycorrhizal fungi can improve plant adaptability to poor habitat and accelerate plant recovery. This study investigated the changes of composition of mycorrhizal fungi in soils during the process of vegetation recovery in abandoned mining area in eastern and western Taiwan , and to established the basic information of the composition of mycorrhizal fungi in the special habitat of limestone areas. The results show that there was no significant difference in mycorrhizal fungi composition between Suao and Hualien in eastern Taiwan, and Acaulospora spinosa, Acaulospora kentinensis, Diversispora spurca and Glomus deserticola are the dominant species. In western Taiwan there was significant difference in mycorrhizal fungi composition between Guanxi and Dagangshan, Glomus ambisporum,Glomus versiforme and Paraglomus occultum dominated the site of Guanxi while Ambispora granatensis and Claroideoglomus claroideumwere dominated the site of Dagangshan.
