Growth and physiological responses of Populus nigra L. to salinity stress following inoculation with indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Nature ·
The Brief
- The study examines how Populus nigra L. (black poplar) responds to salinity stress after inoculation with indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
- It measures growth and physiological responses of the trees, according to the article title.
- The article was listed in a nature.com subject feed on 2026-11-13; no summary was provided in the sources.
Why it matters
Salinity is a growing constraint on tree planting, and the study tests whether native mycorrhizal fungi can help poplars cope with it, which matters to researchers in plant science and soil ecology.
