Ecological intensification has been proposed as an alternative paradigm for intensive
agriculture to boost yield sustainably through utilizing ecosystem services. A prerequisite to …

Plants establish symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) for nutrient exchange
and also for tolerance to contaminants. During February 2019, soil and rhizosphere samples …

More than 80% of land plant species benefit from symbiotic partnerships with arbuscular
mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which assist in nutrient acquisition and enhance the ability of host …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) function mostly depends on their colonization to roots.
However, it has not been systematically clear how arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) formation is …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play a key role in mediating soil–plant relationships within karst
ecosystems. Sophora japonica, a medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory and antitumor …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) prevail in most natural terrestrial ecosystems and are
widespread geographically having a very extensive host range. AMF form symbiotic …

Culturable bacteria are widely used in the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil
associated with different plants. In this study, a pot experiment of castor bean (Ricinus …

Heavy metal (HM) contamination is a global issue characterized by high concentrations of
HMs beyond safe and tolerable standards. Plants may receive the brunt of their toxicity due …

Microplastic pollution is a global and ubiquitous environmental problem in the oceans as
well as in the terrestrial environment. We examined the fate of microplastic polystyrene …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous, obligatory plant symbionts that have a
beneficial influence on plants in contaminated environments. This study focused on …
