A walk through a forest is a treat for the senses. Just stop and look, listen, and touch what is around you. The sunlight glinting through the branches, the rustle of leaves, and the rough texture of ...
Vol. 124, No. 6, Special Issue on Root traits benefitting crop production in environments with limited water and nutrient availability (November 2019), pp. 1109-1119 (11 pages) • Background and Aims ...
Most plants form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi since their emergence on land hundreds of millions of years ago. Depending on the availability of carbon (C), these symbioses employ two nutrient ...
Researchers have found that mycorrhizas promote greater tree species diversity in North American forests. Fungi, specifically those that are "mycorrhizal," are natural allies of the forest because ...
Fungi, specifically those that are “mycorrhizal,” are natural allies of the forest because they improve tree nutrient acquisition. But which of the mycorrhizal feeding strategies yields the greatest ...
1. From the phytocentric perspective, a mycorrhizal network (MN) is formed when the roots of two or more plants are colonized by the same fungal genet. MNs can be modelled as interaction networks with ...
Filaments of fungi intertwine with the tips of tree roots to form underground networks that seem to benefit both organisms: the filaments, called hyphae, break down minerals in the soil that trees can ...
You’ve probably heard the stories: that through an intricate network of underground fungi, trees send nutrients and warning signals back and forth to one another. In Pulitzer Prize-wining novels, New ...
The idea that trees communicate and share resources with each other via an underground network of fungi, sometimes called the “wood wide web”, has little evidence to back it up, say researchers who ...
