Above-and belowground linkages shape responses of mountain vegetation to climate change

F Hagedorn, K Gavazov, JM Alexander - Science, 2019 - science.org
Upward shifts of mountain vegetation lag behind rates of climate warming, partly related to
interconnected changes belowground. Here, we unravel above-and belowground linkages …

Plant–soil interactions alter nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in an advancing subarctic treeline

J Fetzer, P Moiseev, E Frossard, K Kaiser… - Global Change …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Treelines advance due to climate warming. The impacts of this vegetation shift on plant–soil
nutrient cycling are still uncertain, yet highly relevant as nutrient availability stimulates tree …

Vegetation creates microenvironments that influence soil microbial activity and functional diversity along an elevation gradient

D Hernández-Cáceres, A Stokes… - Soil Biology and …, 2022 - Elsevier
Soil microbial communities are responsive to abiotic and biotic conditions within the

Habitat partitioning of soil microbial communities along an elevation gradient: from plant root to landscape scale

L Merino‐Martín, D Hernández‐Cáceres, F Reverchon… - Oikos, 2023 - Wiley Online Library

habitats shape community composition requires an understanding of the way in which …

Chronic in situ tissue cooling does not reduce lignification at the Swiss treeline but enhances the risk of 'blue'frost rings

C Körner, A Lenz, G Hoch - Alpine Botany, 2023 - Springer
In their 2013 paper, Lenz et al. illustrated how trees growing at the low-temperature limit
respond to a chronic in situ warming or cooling by 3 K, by employing Peltier-thermostated …

N limitation increases along a temperate forest succession: evidences from leaf stoichiometry and nutrient resorption

P Zhang, XT Lü, MH Li, T Wu, G Jin - Journal of Plant Ecology, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Forest productivity and carbon (C) sequestration largely depend on soil N and P availability.
To date, however, the temporal variation of nutrient limitation along forest succession is still …

Ozone will remain a threat for plants independently of nitrogen load

Z Feng, B Shang, Z Li, V Calatayud… - Functional …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Elevated concentrations of ground‐level ozone (O3) and atmospheric nitrogen (N)
deposition occur concurrently. The negative effects of elevated O3 on plants have been …
