The paper examines root-associated fungal communities of white spruce trees across Alaskan treelines, finding that site and soil pH strongly influence fungal composition, while treeline effects are context-dependent and not linked to tree growth.

This study uses population genomics to show genetic differentiation and structure in Drosera rotundifolia across Europe, linked to climate and postglacial history.

This study examines how drought and ploidy level affect gene expression and DNA methylation in Phragmites australis, identifying shared drought-response genes and ploidy-specific expression patterns.

This study finds that in Phragmites australis, higher ploidy does not improve performance under stress, with tetraploids outperforming octoploids under moderate drought and both performing poorly under severe drought.

The paper compares fungal communities in fine roots of three phylogenetically distant plants in a Lithuanian forest, finding differences in diversity and mycorrhizal associations.
