Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi drive nutrient flows along ‘trunk routes’ of the network, illuminating the design principles of a symbiotic supply-chain network shaped by millions of years of natural ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
