Dissection of niche competition between introduced and indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with respect to soybean yield responses

Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with most land plants and deliver phosphorus to the host. Identification of biotic/abiotic factors that determine crop responses to AM fungal inoculation is an essential step for successful application of the fungi in sustainable agriculture. We c...
