Defoliation of interior Douglas-fir elicits carbon transfer and stress signalling to ponderosa pine neighbors through ectomycorrhizal networks

Research shows that mycorrhizal networks are positioned to play crucial roles in facilitating the regeneration of migrant species that are better adapted to warmer climates and primed for resistance against insect attacks. These results point to the importance of conservation practices maintaining all of the parts and processes of these highly interconnected forest ecosystems to help them deal with new stresses brought by the changing climate.
