The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are significant fertility-promoting microbes in soils.
They enable soil fertility, soil-health and boost crop productivity. There are generalist and …

Ecosystem functioning depends on biodiversity at multiple trophic levels, yet relationships
between multitrophic diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality have been poorly explored …

Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

Purpose In drought-prone soils, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) might positively affect water uptake and crop yield via …

Phosphorus (P) fertilization rates have been dramatically increasing in intensive agro-
