This review covers the nature, characteristics, and reactivity of soil organic matter (SOM) in
volcanic soils and the phosphorus (P) accumulation mainly via the formation of stable …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a cosmopolitan group of root symbionts associated
with about 80% of earth plants. Current morphological and molecular classification …

In Chile, cereals cultivation is mainly in volcanic soils with pH values typically between 4.5–
5.5 and high levels of exchangeable aluminum (Al) and low P availability. In this context …

By reducing soil organic matter and litter input, land-use changes are predicted to decrease
total soil fungal diversity, but at functional levels this have been poorly studied. It is expected …

While arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in Chile have been widely documented in agro-
ecosystems, there is a knowledge gap regarding AM fungal diversity in Chilean temperate …

The mycorrhizal type of dominant trees (“mycorrhizal dominance”) likely affects other non-
mycorrhizal fungal guilds by means of soil resource partitioning and/or competition (ie, by …

BACKGROUND Tomato is widely consumed throughout the world for its flavor and
nutritional value. This functional food largely depends on the implementation of new …

Old-growth temperate rainforests, located at the Patagonian and Valdivian regions of
southern Chile and Argentina, represent unique ecosystems in South America. These …

Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot characterized by a mosaic of
phytophysiognomies and soil types. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important …

Biological activities determine quality, sustainability, health, and fertility of soils. The purpose
of this study was to evaluate chemical and biological characteristics of soils from Ecuadorian …
