The atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is constantly increasing since industrial revolution due to anthropogenic activities, and is expected to double by 2050 (IPCC, 2013; Cotton et al., 2015; Kumar et al., 2019). Indeed, elevated CO2 directly increases the net primary photosynthesis of crops, particularly C3 plants; stimulating the production of aboveground biomass production (Oliveira et al., 2010) and carbon (C) fluxes from aboveground parts into soil (Ghannoum et al., 2010; McCarthy et al., 2010). Thus, the continuous rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations may indirectly affect the responses of soil microbial communities and the associated C and nitrogen (N) cycling in the rhizosphere (Bardgett et al., 2008; Butterly et al., 2016). Since plant mediates belowground processes, the responses of associated root microbes, which serve as sinks for the photoassimilates are likely to be system specific (Carrillo et al., 2014; Goicoechea et al., 2014). Given that soil microbes, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are actively involved in C and nutrient cycling in the agroecosystems (Cairney, 2012), there is an urgent need to better understand the effects of elevated CO2 on AMF and soil microbial properties in the rhizosphere of agricultural crops.
