Rare earth elements (REEs) are widely used in high-tech industries, and REE waste emissions have become a concern for ecosystems, food quality and human beings. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have repeatedly been reported to alleviate plant stress in metal-contaminated soils. To date, little information is available concerning the role of AMF in REE-contaminated soils. We recently showed that there was no transfer of Sm to alfalfa by Funneliformis mosseae, but only a single REE was examined, while light and heavy REEs are present in contaminated soils. To understand the role of AMF on the transfer of REEs to plants, we carried out an experiment using alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in compartmented pots with separate bottom compartments that only were accessible by F. mosseae fungal hyphae. The bottom compartments contained a mixture of four REEs at equal concentrations (La, Ce, Sm and Yb). The concentration of REEs in plants was higher in roots than in shoots with higher REE soil–root than root–shoot transfer factors. Moreover, significantly higher light-REEs La and Ce were transferred to ryegrass shoots than Sm and the heavy-REE Yb, but this was not observed for alfalfa. Alfalfa dry weight was significantly increased by F. mosseae inoculation, but not ryegrass dry weight. For both plant species, there was significantly higher P uptake by the mycorrhizal plants than the nonmycorrhizal plants, but there was no significant transfer of La, Ce, Sm or Yb to alfalfa and ryegrass roots or shoots due to F. mosseae inoculation.
