Optimal stimulation of rhizosphere nutrient mobilization and grassland plant growth by intermediate but not by high diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are prevalent in grasslands and could aid in their restoration. It's still unclear whether increased AMF species diversity is universally beneficial for grassland plants. This study examined the impact of AMF diversity on plant growth using Lolium perenne L.,...
