~Climate Change & Fungi ~

A new study shows that nitrogen deposition, fire suppression, and climate change are shifting the relationships between trees and their mycorrhizal (plant-root-associating) fungi partners, with potential long-term negative impacts on carbon cycling, forest succession and productivity, and overall soil health and dynamism!

You can learn all about the profound importance of fungi in soils, forest health, and climate change – and just what this study truly implies – in our upcoming fungal ecology class, coming in July.

Shifts in dominant tree mycorrhizal associations in response to anthropogenic impacts Plant-fungal symbioses play critical roles in vegetation dynamics and nutrient cycling, modulating the impacts of global changes on ecosystem functioning. Here, we used forest inventory data consisting of more than 3 million trees to develop a spatially resolved “mycorrhizal tree map” of the con...
