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 times. The maps will help scientists see where underground circulatory systems are thriving or threatened.

Estudo publicado na revista Science estima que os solos da Terra contêm 110 mil biliões de quilómetros de filamentos fúngicos, estruturas vivas que movem carbono e nutrientes à…

Researchers have created the first high-resolution global map of the extent of one of Earth’s largest—and least visible—living networks

Spanning 110 quadrillion kilometers, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi transport an enormous amount of planet-warming carbon.

The ground beneath your feet is not quiescent.

First ever global mapping of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi shows scale of hyphal systems that sustain plant life

Our soils are teeming with networks of fungi, and we're starting to understand how important they are

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

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.

It might sound like something out of The Last of Us, but scientists have uncovered a hidden fungal network lurking beneath our feet.

Un nuovo studio è riuscito a mappare a livello globale la rete fungina che sostiene la vita vegetale e contribuisce a regolare il clima del nostro pianeta

Mykorrhiza-Pilze setzen sich auf Pflanzenwurzeln und breiten sich so immer weiter aus. Ihre Netzwerke sind so dicht und lang, dass man damit 750 Mal von der Erde zur Sonne käme.
