Background Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in many agroecosystems and costly
fertilizer inputs can cause negative environmental impacts. Cover crops constitute a …

Agricultural intensification has substantially reduced soil biodiversity as well as
agroecosystem functions and services. Sustainable agroecosystems that increase crop …

Intensive agricultural practices are responsible for soil biological degradation. By stimulating
indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), cover cropping enhances soil health and …

It has widely been acknowledged that the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is
greatly affected by climate, land use intensity, and soil parameters. The objective of this …

In the dryland Pacific Northwest wheat cropping systems, no-till is becoming more prevalent
as a way to reduce soil erosion and fuel inputs. Tillage can have a profound effect on …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are essential elements of soil fertility, plant nutrition and
productivity, facilitating soil mineral nutrient uptake. Helianthus annuus is a non-model …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts, living in associations with the
roots of most land plants. AMF produce wide networks of extraradical mycelium (ERM) of …

Cover cropping is proposed to enhance soil microbial diversity and activity, with cover crop
type affecting microbial groups in different ways. We compared fungal community …

Our understanding regarding the influence of intensive agricultural practices, including
cover cropping and tillage, on communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is lacking …

In intercropping systems, crop species select host-adapted microorganisms and influence
the associated plant-microbial interactions like in the case of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi …
