  abstract = {{I}n arid regions, excessive water use threatens agricultural sustainability and overall livelihoods. {I}t is essential to minimize water consumption to address these issues. {D}ate palm ({P}hoenix dactylifera {L}.) is an emblematic crop of arid regions and a major water consumer. {A}dapting current irrigation systems to be more water-efficient systems could help cope with the water consumption of this crop. {M}icrobial communities associated with plants are essential for agricultural sustainability and could improve the water use efficiency in regions threatened by water scarcity. {T}hese communities should thus be seriously taken into account when adapting agrosystems to the current global change setting. {H}owever, no information is presently available on the effects of the different soil water systems on date palm microbial communities. {T}his study highlights the impact of different soil water systems (flooding and drip irrigation, natural conditions and abandoned farms) on date palm root fungal communities at different soil depths (40, 80 and 140 cm deep). {T}he findings revealed that the soil water systems had a marked impact on fungal communities and that drip irrigation reduced the fungal diversity but increased the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. {W}e showed that these effects were similar at all sampling depths. {F}inally, as the root architecture is a major determinant of water uptake, we reveal different behaviors of the root architecture under these different soil water systems to 160 cm depth. {T}he findings of this study give new insights into the date palm root architecture and associated fungal communities, particularly in the context of the water availability crisis, which drives the adaptation of agricultural systems.},
