The biology of mycorrhiza in the Ericaceae [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1995 summaryIn acid mor‐humus soils of heathland ecosystems fungi are a significant part of the soil biomass. In these organic soils chitin and hyphal wall hexosamines are major potential sources of nitrogen (N). The ability of the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Hymenoscyphus ericae (Read) Korf & Kernan to degrade purified chitin and the hexosamines, N ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Post‐fire plant functional strategies of Mediterranean woody species can be less fixed than often thought when intraspecific variability of fire‐related traits is considered. Abstract Fire can profoundly affect ecosystem dynamics, species distribution and plant traits, especially in open biomes.

The biology of mycorrhiza in the Ericaceae [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1989 SummaryThe role of mycorrihizal infection in the calcium nutrition of Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull is investigated. Calluna plants were grown in the infected (M) and uninfected (NM) condition m sand supplied with nutrient solutions containing one of the three ecologically important calcium salts: CaSO4, CaCO3, and CaCl2, each supplied over a range of ...

Advancing the pneumatic method to assess xylem vulnerability to embolism among distinct growth forms
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Our study shows that pneumatic vulnerability curves can be constructed across contrasting growth forms, with P50 showing the closest agreement across methods. Repeated relative water content measurements improved water potential estimation for graminoid culms. Abstract Drought‐driven plant mortality is closely linked to xylem embolism. Building useful,

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1132-1144, July 2026.Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased
