Interplay of biotic and abiotic factors shapes tree seedling growth and root-associated microbial communities
Abstract Root-associated microbes can alleviate plant abiotic stresses, thus potentially supporting adaptation to a changing climate or to novel environments during range expansion. While climate change is extending plant species fundamental niches northward, the distribution and colonization of mut...
