The root economics space (RES) is multidimensional and largely shaped by belowground
biotic and abiotic influences. However, how root–fungal symbioses and edaphic fertility drive …

Dioecious species may be particularly vulnerable to climate change because they often
exhibit skewed sex ratios that are reinforced by the physiological and biological …

Plants live in association with a diversity of soil microorganisms, which are extremely
important in affecting plant growth and soil biogeochemical cycling. By adopting plant trait …

The interactions between roots and mycorrhizal fungi are critical for our understanding of the
multidimensional root economics space. Our knowledge on their relationships comes mainly …

Background Alpine coniferous forest ecosystems dominated by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) tree
species are generally characterized by low soil nitrogen (N) availability but stabilized plant …

Root exudates are an important pathway for plant–microbial interactions and are highly
sensitive to climate change. However, how extreme drought affects root exudates and the …

Localized nutrient supply can induce maize (Zea mays L.) root proliferation, and then
promote nutrient uptake. Yet, how maize plants adjust root morphology, physiology and …

Soil phosphorus (P) is a growth‐limiting nutrient in tropical ecosystems, driving diverse P‐
acquisition strategies among plants. Particularly, mining for inorganic P through …

Nitrogen (N) addition influences fine root growth and mycorrhizal symbiosis formation, the
two dominant strategies for tree nutrient acquisition. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) and …

Phosphorus (P) for carbon (C) exchange is the pivotal function of arbuscular mycorrhiza
(AM), but how this exchange varies with soil P availability and among co‐occurring plants in …
