Seven years later: native AMF inoculation improves grassland successional stage, floristic quality index, and diversity, while suppressing weeds Native mycorrhizal fungi enhance prairie restoration by boosting native plant diversity, supporting late-successional species, and reducing invasive plants

My new paper is out! 🧪🦠

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄
No rice this week: instead a beautiful arbuscule formed by native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (identity unknown) within a Plantago root. This animation takes you through a z-stack 🔬

Graphical abstract of the submitted manuscript: A photo of a forb-rich prairie restoration alongside images of native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores. Two graphs illustrate that increasing AM fungal amendments improved plot quality (Floristic Quality Index) and reduced weed abundance in the margins.

Newly Submitted Manuscript:

A vibrant forb-rich prairie restoration powered by native mycorrhizal fungal inoculants! Data from 7 years post-inoculation shows AM fungal amendments boost plot quality (Floristic Quality Index) and reduces weeds.

How resilient are AMF cultures? Gi. decipiens SCT711C and Paraglomus sp. SCT771G stored for 8 years at 4C still kicking and alive. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you all folks!! Cheers

Selection for agronomic traits in intermediate wheatgrass increases responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Agricultural practices have had a negative impact on the physical, chemical, and biological components of soil. Perennial cropping systems that facilitate positive soil microbial interactions could n...

Many crops lose their reliance on #AMF during domestication, but we found a novel #perennial grain is becoming MORE responsive to AMF.
