Abstract

•Robinia pseudoacacia strategically recruited AM fungi to cope with phosphorus limitation.

•AMfungi interacted with the assembly and composition of bacteria and rhizobia.

•AM fungal-centered underground network supported slope multifunctionality.

•The R. pseudoacacia–AM fungi–rhizobia association restores eroded ecosystems.
