The interactions between sugar maple (Acer saccharum, Marshall) and its microbial communities are important for tree fitness, growth, establishment. Despite recent progress in our understanding of the rhizosphere phyllosphere maple, many outstanding knowledge gaps remain. This review delves into relationships microbes, as climate change alters plant species distributions. It highlights multifaceted roles key such arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi pathogens, affecting distribution establishment novel habitats. Furthermore, this examines how different compartments contribute to fitness. Finally, it explores dispersal altered under changing environmental conditions can affect maple's ability migrate beyond current range, emphasizing scenarios associated with shifts. In rhizosphere, AM known their nutrient acquisition improving stress tolerance. Yet, questions remain about these interact other soil chemistry alter interactions, presence beneficial microbes influences Additionally, role dark septate endophytes (DSE) fitness remains underexplored, need more research on diversity functions. phyllosphere, subject shifts due rising global change, potential impacts These changes may influence tree's resistance tolerance stress, overall health. relies mostly short-read sequencing methods targeting marker genes (e.g., 16S, ITS, 18S), which often fail identify at level. Limitations molecular techniques poor reference databases hinder fully characterize tree-associated Future should thus prioritize advanced tools shotgun, hybrid, or long-read sequencing. Controlled experiments also needed establish causal links communities, study whether throughout lifespan.

Predicting the Impact of Climate Change on Corylus Species Distribution in China: Integrating Climatic, Topographic, and Anthropogenic Factors

Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11)

Published: Nov. 1, 2024

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of climate change on distribution Corylus species in China using MaxEnt model. Key environmental variables, such as Bio6 (mean temperature coldest month) and human footprint, emerged significant determinants habitat suitability. The reveals substantial shifts suitable habitats due to global warming increased precipitation, with notable expansion towards higher latitudes. Species like heterophylla Fisch. ex Bess. mandshurica Maxim. demonstrate resilience extreme conditions, highlighting importance specific ecological traits for conservation. Future projections under various SSP scenarios predict continued expansion, emphasizing need targeted conservation strategies address critical role activities. research highlights complex interplay between climatic, topographic, anthropogenic factors shaping habitats, advocating integrated adaptive management approaches ensure their sustainability amid ongoing change.
