Climate-induced shifts in ectomycorrhizal explorations from long to short strategies along an elevation gradient.
Article in The New phytologist, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi colonize over 60% of tree stems globally, yet how their hyphal morphology varies across environments remains unclear, and current methods for defining EcM mycelial morphology and foraging space lack reliability. Here, we analyzed the morphological traits of 53 262 EcM root tips of Abies fargesii var. faxoniana across elevational temperature gradients (0.2-5.1°C) and developed a species-morphotype-space (SMS) framework to quantify mycelial foraging strategies from root tips to the soil profile. Our results revealed considerable EcM morphotype complexity at the root tip level and distinct temperature- and soil nutrient-driven shifts in EcM morphology based on an elevational gradient. Short-hyphae dominated at lower elevation, whereas thicker long-rhizomorphs prevailed at higher elevation, reaching a foraging space of up to 1.02 × 10
