Management of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis for Mycoremediation and Phytostabilization overviews the many advances that have been made in mycorrhizal research and practice. Many microorganisms are present in plant rhizosphere, among which root-associated mycorrhizal fungi are ancient fungi that have evolved along with the evolution of plants. Mycorrhizal fungi of the soil can colonize more than 80% of terrestrial plant roots, where the mycorrhizal symbiosis helps the host to obtain water and nutrients, in exchange of lipids and sugars from the host plant to the mycorrhizal fungus for its life history. The mycorrhizal extraradical mycelium can extend beyond the root zone, enabling the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Thus, the reciprocal symbiosis can provide an important technology for crop reduction of fertilizer inputs and environmental stewardship. Mycorrhizal fungal fertilizers have been produced commercially in Europe, Asia, and North America, which provides strong support for mycorrhizal applications in agriculture and environmental field. Therefore, there is a great need to summarize the recent research results and bring them together in a book. This book provides soil scientists and mycorrhizal researchers with a comprehensive overview of new advances in mycorrhizal fungi. It may also serve as a reference for professionals in adjacent fields working in environmental management, microbiology, and crop science.

Provides readers with new insights into mycorrhizae, such as lipids as mycorrhizal energy substances, and diversity of mycorrhizal fungi in various environments
Presents the role of mycorrhizal fungi in sustainable soil science
Highlights the potential of phytoremediation and mycorrhizal remediation in contaminated soils

Qiang-Sheng Wu received his PhD from Huazhong Agricultural University, China. He is Professor at the College of Horticulture and Gardening, Yangtze University, Jingzhou, China, and is associated with the Institute of Root Biology at Yangtze University. He also serves as an invited professor at the University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. His research focuses on root endophytic fungi, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and their roles in plant growth, root biology, soil processes, and stress adaptation in horticultural crops. His work has made significant contributions to understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which AMF improve drought tolerance, nutrient uptake, antioxidant defence, osmotic regulation, and soil structure, especially in citrus and other fruit crops. Prof. Wu has published extensively in the fields of mycorrhizal biology, plant stress physiology, root–soil interactions, and sustainable horticulture, and has edited several academic books related to arbuscular mycorrhizas and plant stress tolerance. His research is widely recognised in plant science and agronomy, particularly for advancing the application of beneficial fungi in sustainable agriculture and environmental stress management.
