New research article investigates the role of #fungal communities in treeline expansion under global warming, finding that fewer #ectomycorrhizal fungi in alpine soils may limit the establishment of #Betula pubescens seedlings above the treeline. With Eivind Ronold, @drhyfe.bsky.social & Ella Thoen
Elevational range expansion of Betula pubescens may be slowed by lack of suitable mycorrhizal symbionts in alpine soilsThe elevational limit for trees is increasing worldwide due to global warming. The elevational range expansion of obligate ectomycorrhizal trees, such…www.sciencedirect.com
