The rhizosphere is a critical interface between plant roots and soil, where symbiotic relationships between trees and microbes thrive. This study explores the diversity of microbial symbionts in the rhizosphere, including mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and their interactions with trees. It provides an in-depth analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions, with a focus on signal exchange, symbiosis formation pathways, and the genetic basis of symbiotic compatibility. These symbionts play crucial roles in ecosystems, from nutrient acquisition and recycling to enhancing tree resilience to environmental stress and promoting soil health. Case studies highlight the importance of these relationships in forest ecosystems, agroforestry, and extreme environments. This study underscores the importance of integrating multidisciplinary approaches in future research to fully harness the potential of symbiotic microbes for sustainable ecosystem management.
