The application of green manure is a traditional and valuable practice for agroecosystem
management. In northern China, the effects of green manure on production of the region's …

With high-throughput sequencing (HTS), we are able to explore the hidden world of
microscopic organisms to an unpre-cedented level. The fast development of molecular …

Phosphorus (P) acquisition is key for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) help
plants acquire P from soil. Understanding which factors drive AMF-supported nutrient uptake …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are crucial mutualistic symbionts of the majority of plant
species, with essential roles in plant nutrient uptake and stress mitigation. The importance of …

Despite the general appreciation that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can influence
decomposition of organic materials, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we …

Agricultural fertilization significantly affects arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community
composition. However, the functional implications of community shifts are unknown, limiting …

Aim Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widely distributed soil organisms that play
critical roles in ecosystem functions. However, little is known about their global distribution …

Separating anthropogenic contributions from observed vegetation change is helpful for
improving our understanding of the effects of human activities on regional ecosystems. In …

Understanding the effects of different agricultural practices on the mycorrhizal symbiosis is
important for agricultural production and the sustainable use of soil. We investigated the …

The diversity patterns of plants at large scale are broadly documented, but that of soil fungi
remains elusive. Limited reports on soil fungal biogeography mainly are based on species …
