Plants are often subjected to various environmental stresses during their life cycle, among
which drought stress is perhaps the most significant abiotic stress limiting plant growth and …

Plant interactions play a key role in forest ecosystem dynamics. The tallest plants, namely
the overstorey trees, are obvious major drivers, particularly in competition for light. This …

Plant adaptation to drought facilitates major ecological transitions, and will likely play a vital
role under looming climate change. Mycorrhizas, ie strategic associations between plant …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance plant stress tolerance, but it is unclear whether
AM fungi affect heat tolerance in cucumbers. This study aimed to analyze how an AM …

The biogeographic region of Argentinean Puna mainly extends at elevations higher than
3,000 m within the Andean Plateau and hosts diverse ecological communities highly …

Plant root‐associated microbial communities profoundly affect plant nutrition and
productivity. Although elevated atmospheric CO2 and warming affect above‐and …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Plant growth is improved by arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi, although they have not been researched for slope stability. These fungal inoculations …

Background and aims Root-associated fungi link resource fluxes between the soil and roots,
thus influencing plant growth and ecosystem function. However, at present, the impact of …

Blueberries confront substantial challenges from climate change, such as rising
temperatures and extreme heat, necessitating urgent solutions to ensure productivity. We …

The aboveground parts of boreal forest trees mostly grow earlier, and the roots later, in the
growing season. We aimed to experimentally test whether the extrinsic driver of soil …
