Maize/soybean intercropping facilitated phosphorus solubilization via shifted and synergistic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal and bacterial communities in red soil
Our findings demonstrate that IMS facilitates P solubilization in red soil by shifting the AMF and bacterial communities toward a more synergistic state. Furthermore, our results provide a mechanistic understanding of how optimized P management in IMS can enhance AMF and bacterial cooperation to improve P use efficiency. These insights offer novel strategies for mycorrhizal function conservation and sustainable agroecosystem management.
