Abstract | Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important symbionts of most plants that can enhance nutrient uptake and resistance to abiotic stressors. Considering the potential benefits they offer plants, AM fungi could significantly contribute to sustainable agriculture, particularly as we face new challenges associated with climate change. However, our limited understanding of how agricultural practices affect the diversity and functions of AM fungi under climate change obstructs their effective use. We assessed how AM fungal communities, shaped by organic and conventional farming, influenced Sorghum bicolor performance under elevated CO2 (eCO2), water limitation, and their combination. Plant growth and development was analysed alongside AM fungal community composition using DNA metabarcoding. |
