The ground beneath your feet is not quiescent.
Spanning 110 quadrillion kilometers, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi transport an enormous amount of planet-warming carbon.
Hidden Fungal Networks Could Stretch from the Earth to the Sun a Billion Times Over: A new map of global mycorrhizal fungi details the massive scope of the vital systems
It might sound like something out of The Last of Us, but scientists have uncovered a hidden fungal network lurking beneath our feet.
For the first time ever, researchers have quantified the length and mass of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks globally and mapped the ecosystems where they are densest.
Our soils are teeming with networks of fungi, and we're starting to understand how important they are
Researchers produced the first global maps estimating the distribution and mass of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in top soil. They show that fungal threads, laid end-to-end, would stretch from Earth to the sun a billion…
