Abstract Background In the Mediterranean climate, plants have evolved under conditions of
low soil-water and nutrient availabilities and have acquired a series of adaptive traits that, in …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are biotrophic fungi that form an association with plant roots
and render benefits in nutrient uptake, disease control and plant tolerance to stress …

Background and aims It has been confirmed that the declines in arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi (AMF) populations and agroecosystem diversity are largely due to nutrient enrichment …

Substantial amounts of nutrients are lost from soils through leaching. These losses can be
environmentally damaging, causing groundwater eutrophication and also comprise an …

Tibetan Plateau is one of the largest and most unique habitats for organisms including
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, it remains unclear how AMF communities …

Future climate scenarios predict changes in rainfall regimes. These changes are expected to
affect plants via effects on the expression of root traits associated with water and nutrient …

Aims Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhances plant growth and
the symbiosis can play a major role in enhancing drought tolerance of host plants. Our aim …

Drylands are highly susceptible to degradation and climate change, which has important
ecological and socio-economic consequences worldwide. To halt drylands degradation …

Field studies have revealed the impact of changing water regimes on the structure of
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities, but it is not known what happens to the …

Climate models project overall a reduction in rainfall amounts and shifts in the timing of
rainfall events in mid‐latitudes and sub‐tropical dry regions, which threatens the productivity …
