Focusing on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), this work delves into their crucial role within soil microbial communities and their interactions with plants. It builds on classical community ecology principles, emphasizing species coexistence through resource competition avoidance. The study leverages the high species diversity and sampling density of soil ecosystems to explore the processes shaping these communities. By examining the assembly of plant and AMF communities, it aims to clarify the systemic and biotic influences on their interactions and ecological dynamics.
