Intense farming weighs heavily on soil quality! 🌱 Meet arbuscular mycorrhizal #fungi (AMF)🍄, symbionts that help plants acquire nutrients. Rog et al. explore which soils benefit most from AMF in #FEMSMicrobiolLett. @idorog.bsky.social @steffilutz.bsky.social @sfbender.bsky.social buff.ly/tblsBb1

New paper! The Increased Environmental Niche of Dual‐Mycorrhizal Woody Species. Ecology Letters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Dual-host woody species occupy a broader geographical range and environmental niche space compared to those associating exclusively with either AM or EM.
