Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic relationships with the roots of nearly all
land-dwelling plants, increasing growth and productivity, especially during abiotic stress …

Root exudates play a key role in mediating plant–plant and plant–rhizomicrobiome
interactions, including regulating biochemical/physiological aspects of plant-associated …

Reclamation using fast-growing trees has great potential for agroforestry development on
former non-ferrous metal mining areas. However, the functional traits of ectomycorrhizal …

Understanding drivers of terrestrial fungal communities over large scales is an important
challenge for predicting the fate of ecosystems under climate change and providing critical …

Drought is a major threat to crop productivity and causes decreased plant growth, poor
yields, and crop failure. Nevertheless, the frequency of droughts is expected to increase in …

Root microbiota composition shifts during the development of most annual plants. Although
some perennial plants can live for centuries, the host–microbiome partnerships and …

The plant rhizosphere is a complex and dynamic chemical environment where the exchange
of molecular signals between plants, microbes, and fungi drives the development of the …

Background In nature, beneficial bacteria triggering induced systemic resistance (ISR) may
protect plants from potential diseases, reducing yield losses caused by diverse pathogens …

Recent work shows that the plant microbiome, particularly the initial assembly of this
microbiome, influences plant health, survival, and fitness. Here, we characterize the initial …

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a powerful simulation technique which describes a complex
dynamic system based on its interacting constituent entities. While the flexibility of ABM …
