Disturbance, both natural and anthropogenic, is considered a major structuring force in communities and influences overall species. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM), a symbiosis between plants and members of Glomeromycota fungi, enhances water and nutrient supply. These fungi play a significant role in the establishment and resilience of vegetation. Understanding arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus response to disturbance is necessary to preserve and rehabilitate functional plant communities in a post-disturbance landscape. The methods used in this study is a literature review. Firstly, the researcher determines the scope definition of the disturbance type used in the study. The next step is to find a research study that describes the community response, such as the diversity and community changes of AM fungi. The researcher then analyzes the response in different types of disturbances and synthesizes AM fungal diversity and community structure responses. In some studies, soil disturbance reduces AM fungal diversity, spore density, and changes or unchanged in community composition. These findings indicated various responses to disturbance in diversity and community structure.
