Divergent selection across the landscape can favor the evolution of local adaptation in
populations experiencing contrasting conditions. Local adaptation is widely observed in a …

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

Commercial perennial agriculture is prone to declining productivity due to negative plant-soil
feedback. An alternative to costly and environmentally harmful conventional treatment such …

Soil microbial inoculants are expected to boost crop productivity under climate change and
soil degradation. However, the efficiency of native vs commercialized microbial inoculants in …

1. Biofertilizers are a large part of the global agricultural economy. 2. Recently, there has
been an increase in the number of companies producing fungal inoculants. 3. Whether …

Plant genetic variation and soil microorganisms are individually known to influence plant
responses to climate change, but the interactive effects of these two factors are largely …

Advances in microbiome science require a better understanding of how beneficial microbes
adapt to hosts. We tested whether hosts select for more-cooperative microbial strains with a …

Interactions between plants and microbes have important influences on evolutionary
processes, population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem function. We review …

Ecological restoration efforts can increase the diversity and function of degraded areas.
However, current restoration practices cannot typically reestablish the full diversity and …

Global climate change and shifting land‐use are increasing plant stress due to abiotic
factors such as drought, heat, salinity and cold, as well as via the intensification of biotic …
