Earthworm and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus are both among the beneficial soil biota. They play important roles in nutrient availability in soil and to plant. This article reviewed effects of earthworms on feeding, infection and colonization of AM fungus, latest advancement in research on interaction between AM fungus and earthworms and its mechanism, and their synergic role in plant nutrition and growth and remediation of heavy metal polluted soils, in the hope that the review might serve as a basis future study in this field.progress about interaction between AM fungi and earthworms. Meanwhile, combined effects of AM fungi and earthworms on plant performance, in order to provide basis for further research and development. The aim of this paper was to discuss the effects and mechanisms of interactions between AM fungi and earthworms. Future study perspectives were also given.
