and farming practices drive arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in French vineyards.

Background: Nature-based management of vineyards is at the heart of a sustainable development for the next decades. Although much is known about grapevine benefits from Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), little is known about the influence of vineyard and farming practices on AMF communities.

Methods: We examined the relative effect of wine and agricultural practices (organic, conversion, and conventional) on AMF abundance and diversity across 75 vineyards distributed over 14 wine in 6 winegrowing regions in France.
