Accurate climate modelling and prediction are essential for understanding climate change impacts, optimising water resource management, and mitigating drought and flood risks. However, simulations of extreme precipitation and high‐temperature events remain highly uncertain due to the strong sensitivity of regional climate models to physical parameterisation schemes and the lack of systematic identification of optimal scheme co...

Summary Rhizospheric fungi play major roles in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. However, little is known about the determinants of their diversity and biogeographic patterns. Here, we compared fungal communities in rhizosphere and bulk soils of wheat fields in the North China Plain. The rhizosphere had a lower fungal diversity (observed OTUs and Chao1) than bulk soil, and a distinct fungal community structure in rhizo...

Summary The alpha diversity of foliar fungal endophytes ( FEs ) in leaves of B etula ermanii in a subalpine timberline ecotone on C hangbai M ountain, C hina increased with elevation. There were also significant differences in beta diversity along the elevation gradient. Among the environmental variables analysed, leaf carbon significantly increased with elevation, and was the most significant environmental factor that constra...
