The escalating risks of drought and salinization due to climate change anthropogenic activities are a major global concern. Rhizobium–legume (herb or tree) symbiosis is proposed as an ideal solution for improving soil fertility rehabilitating arid lands, representing crucial direction future research. Consequently, several studies have focused on enhancing legume tolerance salinity stresses using various techniques, including molecular-based approaches. These methods, however, costly, time-consuming, cause some environmental issues. multiplicity beneficial effects microorganisms, particularly plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) plant-associated microbiomes, can play role in performance productivity under harsh conditions zones. PGPB act directly indirectly through advanced mechanisms increase water uptake, reduce ion toxicity, induce resilience osmotic oxidative stress. For example, rhizobia with legumes enhance growth not only by fixing nitrogen but also solubilizing phosphates producing phytohormones, among other mechanisms. This underscores the need further strengthen research its application modern agriculture. In this review, we provide comprehensive description challenges faced nitrogen-fixing leguminous plants semi-arid environments, salinity. We highlight potential benefits legume–rhizobium combined establish more sustainable agricultural practices these regions legume–rhizobium–PGPB partnerships.
