Purpose of review Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to
increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed …

Mycorrhizal fungi benefit plants by improved mineral nutrition and protection against stress,
yet information about fundamental differences among mycorrhizal types in fungi and trees …

Climate change is pushing species outside of their evolved tolerances. Plant populations
must acclimate, adapt, or migrate to avoid extinction. However, because plants associate …

The ongoing climate change is characterized by increased temperatures and altered
precipitation patterns. In addition, there has been an increase in both the frequency and …

Associations between soil minerals and microbially derived organic matter (often referred to
as mineral‐associated organic matter or MAOM) form a large pool of slowly cycling carbon …

Increasing agricultural productivity is critical to feed the ever-growing human population.
Being linked intimately to plant health, growth and productivity, harnessing the plant …

Future increases in drought severity and frequency are predicted to have substantial impacts
on plant function and survival. However, there is considerable uncertainty concerning what …

Water potential directly controls the function of leaves, roots and microbes, and gradients in
water potential drive water flows throughout the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum …

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are located in regions with alternating wet and dry
seasons, with dry seasons that last several months or more. By the end of the 21st century …

Mycorrhizal fungal networks linking the roots of trees in forests are increasingly recognized
to facilitate inter-tree communication via resource, defense, and kin recognition signaling …
