Rapid industrialization, mine tailings runoff, and agricultural activities are often detrimental to
soil health and can distribute hazardous metal (loid) s into the soil environment, with harmful …

The current unpredictable climate changes are causing frequent and severe droughts. Such
circumstances emphasize the need to understand the response of plants to drought stress …

Climate change is pushing species outside of their evolved tolerances. Plant populations
must acclimate, adapt, or migrate to avoid extinction. However, because plants associate …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are a globally distributed group of soil organisms that
play critical roles in ecosystem function. However, the ecological niches of individual AM …

Soil microorganisms are critical to ecosystem functioning and the maintenance of soil
