Abstract
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, which are crucial for nutrient exchange and plant health. This study investigates the potential of mycorrhizal associations to enhance plant resilience against climate change-induced stressors, such as drought and temperature fluctuations. We conducted a series of field and laboratory experiments across diverse ecosystems, examining the physiological and biochemical responses of plants colonized by mycorrhizal fungi. Our findings indicate that mycorrhizal fungi significantly improve water uptake efficiency and stress tolerance in host plants, suggesting a vital role in future agricultural and conservation strategies.
