Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as a hub for soil carbon transformation in intercropping systems: a review of microbial mechanisms and ecological significance
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a pivotal role in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics by channeling plant-assimilated carbon into both labile and recalcitrant pools. In intercropping systems, AMF form symbiotic associations with host plants and facilitate nutrient exchange across the plant-fungus-soil continuum,...
