Can changes in the community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi contribute to explain the rapid yield decrease of crops following forest clearance in Southern Cameroon?

Coordinating organisation: Institute of Plant Sciences
Description: Rapid yield declines after deforestation in small holders’ cropping systems in the humid forest zone in Africa might be partly explained by a change in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi community structure. Linking identification and function of these microorganisms will allow testing this hypothesis.
