Distribution, molecular characterization and phosphate solubilization activity of culturable endophytic fungi from crop plant roots in North East (NE) India
The land plants are highly dependent on beneficial interactions with fungal endophytes for growth, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. We...

Africa’s Premier Fiber Tree
Although the baobab can be described as a multipurpose tree wherever it grows, it is also true that different groups throughout its range emphasize...

Effects of tree species identity and soil origin on soil nematode communities and trophic composition in coniferous and broad-leaved forests
PurposeThe effects of trees on soil nematode communities are related to nutrient cycles in forest ecosystems. We conducted greenhouse pot experiments...

Tree root-mediated soil metabolome in agroforestry enhancing the growth and quality of Panax notoginseng
PurposeThe ecological cultivation of Panax notoginseng under a forest canopy relies on the coupling of the P. notoginseng growth environment and the...

Geophysical imaging of tree root absorption and conduction zones under field conditions: a comparison of common geoelectrical methods
AimsOur objective was to identify the most accurate and simple non-destructive method for visualising a tree’s root system, based on the assumption...

The structure and diversity of bacteria and fungi in the roots and rhizosphere soil of three different species of Geodorum
Shepherd's crook ( Geodorum ) is a genus of protected orchids that are valuable both medicinally and ornamentally. Geodorum eulophioides (GE) is an...

Tree ecophysiology in the context of climate change
Forest structure and function strongly depend on and concurrently influence environmental conditions. Tree performance is generally governed by its...

Diversity of symbiotic cyanobacteria in cycad coralloid roots using a short-read rbcL-X amplicon
Cycads are the only gymnosperms forming a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria in a specialized organ: the coralloid root. This paper...

Climate-induced tree-mortality pulses are obscured by broad-scale and long-term greening
Vegetation greening has been suggested to be a dominant trend over recent decades, but severe pulses of tree mortality in forests after droughts and...

All savanna islands of fertility are not equal: colonial birds influence soil nutrient stoichiometries with consequences for tree seedling growth
Islands of fertility associated with tree/shrub patches in arid grasslands create spatial heterogeneity of soil nutrients. Faunal activities under...

Effect of tree mixtures and water availability on belowground complementarity of fine roots of birch and pine planted on sandy podzol
AimsWe investigated whether tree species growing in mixtures and under different water supply would segregate their fine roots vertically, produce...

Median quartet tree search algorithms using optimal subtree prune and regraft
Gene trees can be different from the species tree due to biological processes and inference errors. One way to obtain a species tree is to find one...

Does leaf net carbon gain and damage explain the minimum thresholds of light for shade tolerance in seedlings of an emergent rainforest tropical tree?
Key messageThe strategies of net carbon gain and defense/storage are evidenced to be complementary for the shade tolerance of seedlings of an...

On the complexity of non-binary tree reconciliation with endosymbiotic gene transfer
Reconciling a non-binary gene tree with a binary species tree can be done efficiently in the absence of horizontal gene transfers, but becomes...

©Relationship between endophytic fungal diversity and colonization and soil factors of cultured blueberry roots in Guizhou Province, Southwest China
Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) inhabit plant roots and soil in ecosystems and host plants worldwide. DSE colonization is influenced by cultivars,...

Rhizophagus Irregularis regulates flavonoids metabolism in paper mulberry roots under cadmium stress
Broussonetia papyrifera is widely found in cadmium (Cd) contaminated areas, with an inherent enhanced flavonoids metabolism and inhibited lignin...

Strategy of endophytic bacterial communities in alfalfa roots for enhancing plant resilience to saline–alkali stress and its application
Soil salinization is an abiotic stress factor that can harm plant growth. Root endophytic bacteria may be associated with the resilience of plants to...

Fine scale sampling reveals early differentiation of rhizosphere microbiome from bulk soil in young Brachypodium plant roots
For a deeper and comprehensive understanding of the composition and function of rhizosphere microbiomes, we need to focus at the scale of individual...

Carbon fluxes within tree-crop-grass agroforestry system: 13C field labeling and tracing
Agroforestry systems are characterized by a high complexity between vegetation components and niche partitioning. In a crop-grass-tree agroforestry...
