Article Synopsis
- Nutrient loss from agriculture poses risks to the environment and human health, and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may help mitigate this by improving nitrogen uptake and immobilization in soil.
- A simulated erosion experiment assessed the impact of inoculating AM fungi (Funneliformis mosseae) on nitrogen-cycling processes in maize and soybean crops under varying slope conditions.
- Results showed that maize soils, when inoculated with AM fungi, experienced significant increases in nitrogen-fixing genes and enzyme activity, while the effect on soybean soils was mixed, highlighting the potential of AM fungi in enhancing nitrogen retention and reducing losses in low nitrogen environments.
