Many of the world's soils are experiencing degradation at an alarming rate. Climate change
and some agricultural management practices, such as tillage and excessive use of …

Climate change and agricultural practices such as the overuse of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides have exacerbated the impact of abiotic pressures on crop productivity and …

Understanding the effects of land-use changes on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF)
communities may greatly benefit ecosystem conservation and restoration. However, how …

Topography is a critical factor that determines the patterns and assemblages of species
diversity in forest communities. Small-scale topography changes are defined as …

Although the accomplishments of microbiome engineering highlight its significance for the
targeted manipulation of microbial communities, knowledge and technical gaps still limit the …

Phosphorus (P) is essential for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) aid its
uptake by acquiring P from sources distant from roots in return for carbon. Little is known …

Background The root mycobiome plays a fundamental role in plant nutrition and protection
against biotic and abiotic stresses. In temperate forests or meadows dominated by …

Aims We explored how long-term agricultural practices affect arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
fungal traits and community structure. Methods We sampled soil and roots from a 26-year …

Intercropping achieved through agroforestry is increasingly being recognized as a
sustainable form of land use. In agroforestry, the roots of trees and crops are intermingled …

Despite the lower reactivity of natural phosphates compared to soluble fertilizers, their P
bioavailability can increase over the cultivation years, due to the physicochemical processes …
