Global warming is predicted to impact high-latitude and high-altitude forests severely,
jeopardizing their overall functioning and carbon storage, both of which depend on the …

Climate warming is predicted to affect temperate forests severely, but the response of fine
roots, key to plant nutrition, water uptake, soil carbon, and nutrient cycling is unclear …

Aims Respiration of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) surface fine roots has been shown to
partially acclimate to experimentally increased soil temperature. In this study, we assessed …

We investigated the effects of a 5° C soil+ air experimental heating on root and microbial
respiration in a boreal black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) forest in northern Manitoba …

The mechanisms by which warming affects fine root lifespan remain unclear. In a large-scale
soil warming experiment in a Chinese fir plantation, fine root dynamics were monitored for …

Fine root traits are critical to plant nutrition and water uptake, and soil nutrient cycling. The
impacts of climate warming on woody plants are predicted to be severe, but the effects on …

Whether and how warming alters functional traits of absorptive plant roots remains to be
answered across the globe. Tackling this question is crucial to better understanding …

Trees can invest up to one-third of the carbon (C) fixed by photosynthesis into belowground
allocation, including fine root exudation into the rhizosphere. It is still unclear how climate …

Belowground climate change responses remain a key unknown in the Earth system. Plant
fine-root response is especially important to understand because fine roots respond quickly …

Context Warmer temperatures and anthropogenic N depositions are altering soil nutrient
cycles and plant nutrition worldwide and are projected to rise dramatically in the future …
