An international team including engineers from Princeton has devised a way to watch, in stunning detail, as the hollow ...

Over time, our industry has come to better appreciate water. Water availability and the cost of water are now regular topics ...

On the fungi side, underground mycorrhizal networks can serve as a reservoir for carbon compounds that plants generate from ...

Grasslands dominated by plants that depend on mycorrhizal fungi store notably more carbon than those with plants that don't depend on them as much. Additionally, as temperatures and rainfall ...

Mycorrhizae (from the Greek words for fungus and root) is a general term describing a symbiotic relationship between a soil fungus and plant root. Unlike rhizobia and their legume partners ...

New research uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon and nutrients across the complex, living networks ...

Mycorrhizal fungi are the supply chains of the soil. With filaments thinner than hair, they shuttle vital nutrients to plants and tree roots. In return, the fungi receive carbon to grow their ...

Active areas of research include: (1) microbial biogeochemistry of ecosystems in Colorado, Peru and Costa Rica, (2) the role of mycorrhizal fungi in the ecology of wild plants, and (3) biogeography ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Mycorrhizal fungi significantly enhance soil organic carbon storage in grasslands by promoting plant diversity and increasing root biomass. Grasslands with ...

New research published in the journal Nature on February 26, 2025, uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade ...
