A Purdue University researcher has found that groups of fungi influence global tree species in distinct ways, depending on latitude and aridity.
The researchers drew data from over 442,000 forest plots worldwide.
The team's data underscores the importance of mutually beneficial, belowground interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and trees.
How much of the carbon that forests sequester at the surface can be attributed to underground activity? "And what can we do to enhance the health of our forest ecosystem by not just seeing what is on the surface, but what is belowground?" Liang asked.
