For more than 400 million years, mycorrhizal fungi and plants have formed partnerships that
are crucial to the emergence and functioning of global ecosystems. The importance of these …

Excessive use of synthetic fertilizers cause economic burdens, increasing soil, water and
atmospheric pollution. Nano-fertilizers have shown great potential for their sustainable uses …

Soil is a hierarchical, self-organizing, and emergent system that supports plant and microbial
growth, enables carbon sequestration, facilitates water fluxes, and provide habitat for …

Nutrient deficiency in most terrestrial ecosystems constrains global primary productivity.
Rhizosphere nutrient availability directly regulates plant growth and is influenced by many …

Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs strongly influence the formation, turnover and
sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural ecosystems. It is not clear …

Vegetation restoration affects belowground microbial diversity and trait-based life strategies,
as well as soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. Despite the growing focus on microbial …

No-tillage with straw mulch is an effective way to achieve soil sustainability. However, the
specific redistributions of soil organic carbon composition, stocks, and crop yield remain …

Chromium (Cr) is one of the toxic elements that harms all forms of life, including plants.
Industrial discharges and mining largely contribute to Cr release into the soil environment …

The rhizosphere is the central hotspot of water and nutrient uptake by plants,
rhizodeposition, microbial activities, and plant-soil-microbial interactions. The plasticity of …
