Elevated tropospheric ozone concentrations induce adverse effects in plants. We reviewed
how ozone affects (i) the composition and diversity of plant communities by affecting key …

The interaction networks formed by ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) and their tree hosts, which
are important to both forest recruitment and ecosystem carbon and nutrient retention, may be …

Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) affects the allocation of biomass aboveground and
belowground and influences terrestrial ecosystem functions. However, how belowground …

It is widely documented that elevated ground-level ozone (O 3) has negative effects on tree
physiological characteristics, and in return, affects forest ecosystem function. However, the …

The successful early establishment of seedlings is a challenging step for the management of
forests in semi-arid regions, such as in the oak (Q. brantii) forests in western Iran. To address …

Both ozone (O3) and drought can limit carbon fixation by forest trees. To cope with drought
stress, plants have isohydric or anisohydric water use strategies. Ozone enters plant tissues …

Fine roots of trees exhibit varying degree of plasticity to adapt to environmental stress.
Although the morphological and physiological plasticity of roots has been well studied, less …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), which form symbiotic ectomycorrhiza with tree roots, mediate
heavy metal tolerance of host plants. To investigate the roles of EMF in the growth …

As a consequence of changing global rainfall patterns, frequent extreme droughts will
significantly affect plant growth and ecosystem functions. Fine roots and arbuscular …
