Article Synopsis
  • Soil acidity limits plant growth, but arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can help plants thrive in such conditions, although soil acidity itself affects fungal diversity.
  • Previous research suggested that some AM fungi found in highly acidic soils may also thrive in soils with moderate pH, leading to the hypothesis that they might be pH generalists.
  • Experiments and field studies revealed that while fungal communities in more acidic conditions can adapt and are part of a broader range of pH conditions, they maintain a consistent nested community structure, hinting at their potential role in supporting plant resilience in acidic environments.
