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 …

Soil salinity often hinders plant productivity in both natural and agricultural settings.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) symbionts can mediate plant stress responses by …

Environmental stress is increasing worldwide, yet we lack a clear picture of how stress
disrupts the stability of microbial communities and the ecosystem services they provide …

Soil microbial communities are dominated by a relatively small number of taxa that may play
outsized roles in ecosystem functioning, yet little is known about their capacities to resist and …

As one of the most important limiting factors of grassland productivity, drought is predicted to
increase in intensity and frequency. Greenhouse studies suggest that arbuscular …

Stomata regulate rates of carbon assimilation and water loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)
symbioses often modify stomatal behavior and therefore play pivotal roles in plant …

Plant strategies to cope with future droughts may be enhanced by associations between
roots and soil microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. But how AM …

Endophytes are microbial symbionts living inside plants and have been extensively
researched in recent decades for their functions associated with plant responses to …

Extreme drought is likely to become more frequent and intense as a result of global climate
change, which may significantly impact plant root traits and responses (ie, morphology …

Global climate change and shifting land‐use are increasing plant stress due to abiotic
factors such as drought, heat, salinity and cold, as well as via the intensification of biotic …
