[HTML][HTML] Roles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant growth and performance: Importance in biotic and abiotic stressed regulation
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic associations with most terrestrial
plants. These soil microorganisms enhance the plant's nutrient uptake by extending the root …

The global soil community and its influence on biogeochemistry
BACKGROUND Soil is the largest repository of organic matter on land, storing~ 1500 Gt
carbon, which is at least as much as the vegetation (~ 560 Gt) and atmosphere (~ 750 Gt) …

The numbers of fungi: is the descriptive curve flattening?
The recent realistic estimate of fungal numbers which used various algorithms was between
2.2 and 3.8 million. There are nearly 100,000 accepted species of Fungi and fungus-like …

Temperature and pH define the realised niche space of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
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 …
