Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) helped restore damaged ecosystems in old sand quarries by forming symbiotic partnerships with pioneer plants. These fungi thrived alongside species like brown bent (Agrostis capillaris) and tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa), improving soil health and plant regrowth.
