Trophic interactions as determinants of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community with cascading plant-promoting consequences.

Our study highlights the importance of predation as a key element in shaping the composition and enhancing the biomass of AMF, leading to increased plant performance. As such, we clarify novel biological mechanism of the complex interactions between AMF, fungivorous protists, and nematodes in driving P absorption and plant performance. Video Abstract.
