Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Global variation in nonstructural carbohydrate stores in response to climate
Woody plant species store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) for many functions. While
known to buffer against fluctuations in photosynthetic supply, such as at night, NSC stores …

Nitrogen fertilisation disrupts the temporal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal hyphae but not spore density and community composition in a wheat field
Elucidating the temporal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is critical for
understanding their functions. Furthermore, research investigating the temporal dynamics of …

Do stomata optimize turgor‐driven growth? A new framework for integrating stomata response with whole‐plant hydraulics and carbon balance
Every existing optimal stomatal model uses photosynthetic carbon assimilation as a proxy
for plant evolutionary fitness. However, assimilation and growth are often decoupled, making …

Climate change–induced stress disrupts ectomycorrhizal interaction networks at the boreal–temperate ecotone
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 …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi mediate belowground carbon transfer between pines and oaks
Inter-kingdom belowground carbon (C) transfer is a significant, yet hidden, biological
phenomenon, due to the complexity and highly dynamic nature of soil ecology. Among key …
