#FungalCommunities related to invasive plants may change with an #ElevationalGradient, which may affect the performance and invasiveness of #InvasivePlants. Rui-Ling Liu et al. found that #Rhizosphere and #Root fungal community of the invasive plant #GalinsogaQuadriradiata changes along its elevational expansion route.

Determinants of Plant Species Richness Along Elevational Gradients: Insights with Climate, Energy and Water-Energy Dynamics

Understanding the patterns and processes of species distributions has long remained a central focus of biogeographical and ecological research. While the evidence for elevational patterns in species richness is widespread, our understanding of underlying causes and mechanisms remained limited....
