Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the accelerated loss of biodiversity in all terrestrial ecosystems confronts us with a serious environmental crisis that must be addressed by promoting the use of biological associations. Beneficial symbioses not only allow the conservation of the most endangered species and vulnerable ecosystems but they also contribute to restoring soil functions and ecosystem services. Such is the case of the utilization of mycorrhizas as one of the most widespread symbiotic associations in nature inhabiting almost all the plants on the planet. In this Special Issue, we welcome original papers from all research areas that demonstrate the benefits of mycorrhizal symbioses in the conservation of plants and ecosystem functions.
