Together, these 12 studies provide new evidence on how roots, rhizospheres, and microorganisms are coordinated with the aboveground tree organs into an integrated whole organism that responds and adapts to changing environmental conditions. This research offers important insights into the ecosystem function of current and future forests. Yet, however, a main challenge in tree root research is to gain a complete understanding framework of integrated responses to the constant change of environmental conditions from the molecular level upscaled to tissue, single organism, and forest community scales, the later requiring a comprehension of biological communication mediated by microorganisms. This would lead to a more detailed understanding ofcarbon dynamics and carbon use efficiency of the entire tree and forest.
