Mining activities generally decrease topsoil and vegetation, reduce soil biodiversity, and
yield extremely harsh environmental conditions, which in turn limit natural revegetation and …

Despite previous research on mycorrhizal association with plants, the data on associations
with coffee (Coffea species) are very sparse despite the great economic importance of this …

Exploring the role of enzymes in biogeochemical processes, this reference explores the
function, molecular biology, and biochemistry of microorganisms and their intra-and extra …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi facilitate inorganic N (NH 4+ or NO 3−) uptake by plants,
but their role in N mobilization from organic sources is unclear. We hypothesized that …

Soil microflora influence plant growth and health both beneficially and adversely. The
microorganisms used as biofertilisers stimulate plant growth response by providing …

Core Ideas Our discussion highlights the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in organic
decomposition processes. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can stimulate fresh residue …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (AMF) can not only improve soil and plant health, but also
alter the accumulation of contaminants in plants. Here, the effects of AMF on the contents of …

Hyphae and vesicles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) were found within the
decomposing leaves of Myrica parvifolia, M. pubescens and Paepalanthus sp. at three …

Piriformospora indica Verma et al, a newly discovered root colonizing, AM fungi-like fungus,
showed prominent positive influence on a wide range of plants of agriculture, forestry and …

Anthropogenic release of biologically available N has increased atmospheric N deposition
in forest ecosystems, which may slow decomposition by reducing the lignolytic activity of …
