Winter Deployment of Shading Nets Mitigates Frost Injury and Subsequent Yield Loss in a Mature ‘Hass’ Avocado Orchard

Frost damage to reproductive tissues is a major constraint to stable yield in ‘Hass’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.) orchards, yet practical protected-cultivation strategies for mature trees remain limited. While shading nets are widely used to mitigate heat stress, their potent...

Pine root exudate terpenoids associate with Mycobacterium sp. under summer drought in a mixed Mediterranean forest

Abstract Background Interactions between tree root exudates and rhizosphere bacteria are a key pathway influencing tree health in the forest. However, how this interaction occurs at the chemical level belowground in forest soil still remains unclear. We conducted a 2-year field e...
