Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between roots and fungi is founded on the movement of carbon from plants to fungi, and of soil resources from fungi to plants. Framing this movement as a trade can facilitate an understanding of how this mutualism has developed over evolutionary time, but fails to explain experimental observations of carbon and nutrient movement. Here, I propose that source-sink dynamics are an essential basic model to explain the movement of plant and fungal resources, which may be modified by plant immune response, variability in fungal molecular repertoires, and competition in the soil. Source-sink dynamics provide testable hypotheses to illuminate mechanisms of ectomycorrhizal resource movement and its consequences for mutualism stability and forest function under climate change.

, an important tree, faces serious threat to its growth from environmental stress, particularly climate change. Using plant microbes to enhance host adaptation to respond climate change challenges has been recognized as a viable and sustainable strategy. However, it is still unclear how the perennial tree microbiota varies across phenological stages and the links between respective changes in aboveground and belowground niches.

Boreal peatlands store vast amounts of soil organic carbon (C) owing to the imbalance between productivity and decay rates. In the recent decades, this carbon stock has been exposed to a warming climate. During the past decade alone, the Arctic has warmed by ∼ 0.

Introduction: This study explores how elevated CO concentration may alter the source-sink dynamics in rice by providing additional carbon for photosynthesis, thereby affecting nutrient absorption and distribution.
Methods: A free-air CO enrichment experiment was conducted on a japonica cultivar Wuyunjing 27 in 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. The plants were exposed to ambient and elevated CO level (increased by 200 μmol·mol-1) and two source-sink manipulation treatments (control with no leaf cutting and cutting off the top three leaves at heading).

Carbon-water interaction studies between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are especially needed today in Arctic and Boreal regions, as they are facing drastic warming and precipitation shifts. Despite the importance of streams in the carbon cycle, northern stream-based studies are scarce, owing to a lack of measurements throughout the north, and possibly skewing global greenhouse gas estimates. We used a combination of multiscale measurements to quantify water sources (HO isotope proxies), carbon availability (dissolved in/organic carbon concentrations) and quality (water absorbance, SUVA -index), microbial community structure (16S rRNA sequencing), and carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) fluxes and concentrations.

The main objective of the current endeavor is to monitor hypothetical processes utilizing a Sisko tri-hybrid fluid over a rotating disk with entropy generation suspended in Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium. Electro Magneto Hydro Dynamics (EMHD), non-linear thermal radiation and exponential and thermal- space dependent heat source/sink coefficients are considered with the intent of conceiving an Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting procedures integrated with a combination of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA). Then, ANFIS-RSA, is used to predict the Nusselt number, skin friction co-efficient in radial and tangential velocities.
