Arbuscular mycorrhizae: natural modulators of plant–nutrient relation and growth in stressful environments
The human population is increasing by 0.96% annually and is estimated to reach from 7.3 to 9 billion in 2050 and 11 billion in 2100. The world’s...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Improve Growth, Physiological Status and Nutrients Accumulation of Ailanthus altissima Seedlings under Cadmium Pollution and Salinity
AbstractArbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known to alleviate the undesirable effects of biotic and abiotic stresses on plants. The objective of...

Patterns and controlling factors of decomposition in distal shoot systems by branch order across 10 temperate tree species
Background and aimsPlant litter decomposition is a crucial pathway of the global carbon (C) cycle, and controls the net primary productivity in...

Introducing N2-fixing tree species into Eucalyptus plantations increases organic phosphorus transformation but decreases its accumulation within aggregates in subtropical China
Background and aimsSoil organic phosphorus (Po) fractions were deemed as potentially significant reservoirs of plant-available phosphorus, profoundly...

Mycorrhizal C/N ratio determines plant-derived carbon and nitrogen allocation to symbiosis
Carbon allocation of trees to ectomycorrhizas is thought to shape forest nutrient cycling, but the sink activities of different fungal taxa for host...

Hierarchical spatial sampling reveals factors influencing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus diversity in Côte d’Ivoire cocoa plantations
While many molecular studies have documented arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities in temperate ecosystems, very few studies exist in which...

Temperate Forests Dominated by Arbuscular or Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Are Characterized by Strong Shifts from Saprotrophic to Mycorrhizal Fungi with Increasing Soil Depth
In temperate and boreal forests, competition for soil resources between free-living saprotrophs and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi has been suggested to...

Native forests but not agroforestry systems preserve arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species richness in southern Ethiopia
The rapid conversion of native forests to farmland in Ethiopia, the cradle of biodiversity, threatens the diversity of the arbuscular mycorrhizal...
