There is a great interest in ecology in understanding the role of soil microbial diversity for
plant productivity and coexistence. Recent research has shown increases in species …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) mediate plant interspecific competition and community
structure. However, the magnitude and direction of AMF effects and underlying mechanisms …

Terrestrial plants establish symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to exchange
water and nutrients. However, the extent to which soil biodiversity influences such …

Interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants are essential
components of ecosystem functioning; however, they remain poorly known in dry …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are keystone symbionts of agricultural soils but
agricultural intensification has negatively impacted AMF communities. Increasing crop …

Plant colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is widespread and can offer
considerable benefits in terms of growth, nutrient uptake and plant yield. However, it is still …

Soil microbial communities can have an important role in the adaptation of plants to their
local abiotic soil conditions and in mediating plant responses to environmental stress. This …

Biotic interactions play primary roles in major theories of the distribution and abundance of
species, yet the nature of these biotic interactions can depend upon the larger ecological …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been proposed as a mechanism to reduce nutrient
inputs in agriculture, thereby reducing costs and increasing environmental sustainability …

In grasslands, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) mediate plant diversity; whether AMF
increase or decrease diversity depends on the relative mycotrophy in dominant vs …
