While direct plant responses to global change have been well characterized, indirect plant
responses to global change, via altered species interactions, have received less attention …

All plants studied in natural ecosystemsare symbiotic with fungi that either resideentirely
(endophytes) or partially (mycorrhizae) within plants. Thesesymbioses appear to adapt to …

Grassland productivity is often primarily limited by water availability, and therefore,
grasslands may be especially sensitive to climate change. Fungal symbionts can mediate …

Rapid climate change threatens plant communities. While many studies address the impact
of climate change on plants and mechanisms of their resilience to climate stressors, the role …

Soil fungi play indispensable roles in all ecosystems including the recycling of organic
matter and interactions with plants, both as symbionts and pathogens. Past observations …

Fungal symbionts have been found associated with every plant studied in natural
ecosystem, where they colonize and reside entirely in the internal tissues of their host plant …

Climate changes have important consequences for plant communities and their root
symbionts. The distribution of tree species within temperate, boreal and tropical biomes will …

We demonstrate that native grass species from coastal and geothermal habitats require
symbiotic fungal endophytes for salt and heat tolerance, respectively. Symbiotically …

It is well known that beneficial plant-associated microorganisms may stimulate plant growth
and enhance resistance to disease and abiotic stresses. The effects of climate change …

In nature, plants often associate with multiple symbionts concurrently, yet the effects of
tripartite symbioses are not well understood. We expected synergistic growth responses …
