Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi does not confer tolerance of pasture legumes to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance-contaminated soil.
This study examined how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi interact with PFAS in soil, and the subsequent effects on the growth of three pasture legume crops, and found that AM fungi will likely be unable to buffer the negative effects of PFAS contamination of agricultural soils.
