Synthesize current evidence on the multifunctional roles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plant nutrition, soil health, and ecosystem resilience while identifying critical research gaps for land-use management.
Conducted a systems-level literature review examining the mycorrhizosphere as an interactive hub among fungi, bacteria, and nematodes.
Evaluated empirical findings on common mycorrhizal networks, agroecological applications, and methodological constraints across diverse ecosystems.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi actively promote plant nutrient acquisition, carbon sequestration, soil aggregate stability, and multi-trophic resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
Common mycorrhizal networks facilitate resource redistribution and defense signaling, though significant debate persists regarding their functional prevalence and ecological importance.
Field application in sustainable agriculture and phytoremediation is currently constrained by environmental variability, fungal antagonism, and widespread taxonomic and geographic research biases.
