Mineral geochemistry and mycorrhizal allocation define root architectural strategy during early vascular plant colonization

This study shows how rock geochemistry influences root architectural strategies in plants, with mycorrhizal fungi altering investment between root types based on substrate composition.

Riparian ecosystem in the alpine connectome. Terrestrial-aquatic and terrestrial-terrestrial interactions in highelevation lakes

The paper examines how riparian ecosystems in alpine lakes interact with terrestrial and aquatic environments, identifying key factors shaping plant communities and their vulnerability to climate change.

A Multiscale Framework for Deconstructing the Ecosystem Physical Template of High-Altitudes Lakes

The paper develops a multiscale framework to understand how physical elements shape high-altitude lake ecosystems and tests it using data from 380 lakes in the Pyrenees.

Small lakes in big landscape: External drivers of littoral ecosystem in high elevation lakes

The paper investigates how catchment characteristics and landscape gradients influence littoral ecosystems in alpine lakes, finding that longitude and topography are key drivers.
