The root systems of most agronomic crops are colonized by diverse assemblages of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), varying in the functional benefits (eg nutrient transfer …

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

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 …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is key to plant nutrition, and hence is potentially
key in sustainable agriculture. Fertilization and other agricultural practices reduce soil AM …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic associations with the majority of land
plants, including many important agricultural crops. These fungi facilitate plant nutrient …

1. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are key regulators of ecosystem processes, yet how
their biodiversity works in ecosystems remains poorly understood. 2. We documented the …

The 20th century saw dramatic increases in agricultural productivity, largely through the
development and application of pesticides, fertilisers rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, and …

The global human population is expected to reach∼ 9 billion by 2050. Feeding this many
people represents a major challenge requiring global crop yield increases of up to 100 …

Complementary beneficial effects of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can result
in a more efficient exploitation of the soil nutrients available, thus influencing plant …

The impact of various agricultural practices on soil biodiversity and, in particular, on
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), is still poorly understood, although AMF can provide …
