Land degradation reduces soil functioning and, consequently, the services that soil
provides. Soil hydrological functions are critical to combat soil degradation and promote soil …

Soil salinization adversely affects plant growth and has become one of the major limiting
factors for crop productivity worldwide. The conventional approach, breeding salt-tolerant …

The great majority of plants gain access to soil nutrients and enhance their performance
under stressful conditions through symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The …

Increasing grain yields of food cereal crops is a major goal in future sustainable agriculture.
We quantitatively analyzed the potential role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in …

Despite widespread anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, it remains unclear how nutrient
enrichment influences plant–arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis and ecosystem …

Salinity and drought are the major osmotic stress limitations that affect plant growth and crop
yield in agriculture worldwide. The alternative response mediated by plants in response to …

The synergistic effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation and biochar
application on plant growth and heavy metal uptake remain unclear. A pot experiment was …

In this study, we characterized, identified, and determined the effect of salt-tolerant PGPR
isolated from coastal saline areas on rice growth and yield. A total of 44 bacterial strains …

Drought stress remains the major constraint in affecting crop productivity in several arid and
semi-arid areas highlighting climate change perspectives. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi …

Background and aims Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to
reduce abiotic stress on plants, but these effects have not been quantitatively synthesized …
