Abstract

Researchers are very concerned about addressing or managing the growing problem of global warming or climate change. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide (CO2) alone contributes 60%. By absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis and naturally storing it as biomass, trees serve as a sink for CO2 because trees have the ability to store carbon and can lessen the effects of climate change and global warming, planting trees or restoring forests may be a solution to this growing problem. This review paper can be helpful since it discusses the interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the roots of trees, which benefits the plant for better germination and growth. dormancy of seeds or a delay in growth can be identified as a disadvantage in a plantation program. With the hope that this information would advance the field of research, we have concentrated on mycorrhizal association and its impact on different species of trees in this work. It can be useful for tree species that have lower biomass or slower growth.

Keywords: Global warming, photosynthesis, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), dormancy and biomass
