Plant strategies to cope with future droughts may be enhanced by associations between
roots and soil microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. But how AM …

Photosynthetic carbon (C) allocated below‐ground can be shared with mycorrhizal fungi in
exchange for nutrients, but also added into soil as rhizodeposits that potentially increases …

The effects of soil Zinc (Zn) deficiency on human health and productivity of livestock and
crops are severe and thus increasing the Zn concentration in plant tissue (and/or its …

To achieve global food security, we will need to produce more food, and do so in an
environmentally sustainable manner. Inorganic fertilizers have been instrumental in …

Plants are at the trophic base of most ecosystems, embedded in a rich network of ecological
interactions in which they evolved. While their limited range and speed of motion precludes …

Utilization of plants-microbe's interactions to remediate calcium 1 (Ca) deficiency soils is
effective and practical. A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of …

Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and a first-rate
source for the latest research in agronomy. As always, the subjects covered are varied and …

Increased nutrient and/or water uptake by AM symbiosis may affect soil biochemical
properties and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A greenhouse experiment was carried out …

Carbon storage is affected by photosynthesis (Pn) and soil respiration (Rs), which have
been studied extensively in natural and agricultural systems. However, the effects of Pn and …

With rising fertilizer costs, and concerns about the environmental impacts of excessive
fertilizer use, organic matter is increasingly seen as an important source of nutrients in …
