Climate change and associated environmental alterations affect plant communities, potentially decoupling links between plants their soil microbial communities. This may in turn processes like litter decomposition, an important function that controls nutrient carbon cycling as well many other ecosystem processes. Microbial decomposers have been proposed to specialize, being able easier decompose from its ‘home’ community than what is termed the home field advantage (HFA) hypothesis. We report...
In the Arctic, fungal mycelial growth takes place mainly during cold season and beginning of growing season. Climate change induced increases temperatures may, hence, benefit increase their abundance. This is particular importance for parasitic fungi, which may significantly shape Arctic vegetation composition. Here, we studied two contrasting plant fungi’s occurrences (biotrophic Exobasidium hypogenum Nannf. on vascular Cassiope tetragona (L.) D. Don., necrotrophic Pythium polare Tojo, van...
Abstract Plant-soil feedbacks (PSF) play a substantial role in determining plant performance native and foreign habitats. Yet, PSF strength may be altered by climatic parameters, creating synergies. Here, we assess of alpine grassland species their soils an experiment including different climates. Using soil seeds sampled from six sites spreading gradient Northern Africa to Europe, compared home five soils, as well climates (simulated temperature photoperiod growth chambers). We found that...
