Soil fungi and mycorrhizal symbiosis for agricultural and forestry applications
Soils are considered dynamic systems that contain a variety of microorganisms such as bacteria, actinomycetes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (EcM + AMF) also known as soil fungi. However, soil fungi constitute an important part of the soil biomass, which places them among the essential actors that contribute to the functioning and balance of ecosystems. One of the essential functions played by soil fungi in terrestrial ecosystems is undoubtedly the mycorrhizal symbiosis, which necessarily involves more than 80% of green plants. Through this symbiosis, soil fungi participate in maintaining plant and fungal biodiversity, natural regeneration and the functioning of biogeochemical cycles. The ultimate goal of this research is to increase our understanding of plant-fungi feedback on biotic and abiotic variables
