Shrub encroachment influences root traits and mycorrhization in subalpine grasslands
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Shrub encroachment into grasslands modifies ecosystem functions, species composition and soil properties. However, knowledge about its detailed below‐ground effects and specifically on concurrent changes in root traits and mycorrhizal associations is missing. We studied

Plant functional groups and root traits are linked to exudation rates of mature temperate trees
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudation affects soil biogeochemistry profoundly, yet it is rarely quantified in mature, field‐grown trees and its controls are poorly understood. We measured rates of carbon (C) exudation in 11 tree species that exhibit divergent root traits, including ...

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root activity creates unique microbial hotspots in the rhizosphere by influencing the metabolic activities of surrounding soil microorganisms, profoundly regulating the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, how root economic strategies affect the formation and
