Among the Mediterranean ecosystems, shrublands are a characteristic type of vegetation, widespread in different habitats. Owing to different factors such as the physiological, morphological, reproductive, phenological and regenerative properties, as well as the inter-intraspecific interactions, each shrubby species represents an important element within the plant community and plays a specific ecological role. In this review, attention was focused on the ecological functions and type of plant-microsymbiont interactions in respect of selected shrubby species within the Mediterranean Basin: Amelanchier ovalis, Astragalus nebrodensis, Crataegus laciniata, Lycium intricatum, Prunus spinosa and Viburnum tinus.

在地中海生态系统中，灌木丛是植被的特征类型，分布在不同的生境中。由于各种不同的因素，例如生理，形态，生殖，物候和再生特性以及种间间的相互作用，每个灌木物种都代表着植物群落中的重要元素，并起着特定的生态作用。在这次审查中，注意力都集中在生态功能和地中海盆地内选择方面灌木种类型的植物，microsymbiont相互作用：桤卵圆，黄芪白灵菇，山楂裂叶，枸杞intricatum，黑刺李和荚。
