Hyphosphere microorganisms facilitate hyphal spreading and root colonization of plant symbiotic fungus in ammonium-enriched soil

K Sun, HJ Jiang, YT Pan, F Lu, Q Zhu, CY Ma… - The ISME …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Anthropogenic nitrogen inputs lead to a high ammonium (NH4+)/nitrate (NO3−) ratio in the
soil, which restricts hyphal spreading of soil fungi. Access of symbiotic fungi to roots is a …
