The research aims to identify the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associated with Miconia bracteolata Bonpl and determine the ecological parameters. The analysis focuses on the Guangra sector, located in the buffer zone of the Sangay National Park - Ecuador, using the most modern methods for the extraction and quantification of AMF. The highest spore populations were found in plot 03 (5637.95 spores/100 g soil), while the lowest was found in plot 01 (3586.46 spores/100 g soil), with a mean colonization percentage of 15.69, developed in a soil type with a slightly acidic pH, which is strongly associated with AMF spore survival. In plot 03, the genus Glomus spp. showed high importance for ecological parameters, medium diversity H-index, and high dominance Simpson's diversity index. These results can help to predict distributions and the degree of ecosystem disturbance, ultimately contributing to the conservation of biodiversity and functions in high Andean ecosystems.
