Résumé

Our knowledge about New Caledonian serpentine ecosystems has increased greatly during the past half-century, mainly thanks to Jaffré's group. However, research on soil microflora and plant symbionts started only in the nineties and was mainly published during the last two decades. We aim to synthesize these studies, focusing particularly on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Research on AMF consists firstly of a global and inventory approach aiming to produce a basic but essential lacking knowledge. These studies showed that AMF are abundant in ultramafic soils and concerned nearly all plant species of these ecosystems. Even Nihyperaccumulator plants and sedges, generally considered non-mycorrhizal, were found to be functionally colonized by AMF in New Caledonian ultramafic soils. The adaptation of AMF communities to the extreme conditions of these soils led to high levels of metal tolerance (particularly to Ni) and noticeable originality of the taxa. The influence of these symbionts on plant growth and adaptation was assessed in greenhouse and field conditions. An accurate selection of AMF isolates that improve plant growth, and plant metal tolerance was performed. It was demonstrated that combinations of AMF isolates with complementary functional traits showed highly synergistic effects on plant development. Finally, a partnership with a biotechnological company led to the production of an efficient commercial inoculant now used in the ecological restoration of mine-degraded areas. Today studies are focused mainly on the additive effects of AMF and mycorrhiza-helper bacteria.
