Soil salinity affects soil quality and reduces plant performance. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance the tolerance of plants under salinity stress. Cultivation of eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus camaldulensis ), which exhibits high water use efficiency, is possible in saline areas to produce raw...
