OK, I am supposed to be gone from this platform, but wow ! EnriCo research - namely Michela Audisio paper on mycorrhizae - is featured in the last issue of Epsiloon !! So cool to see the research reaching out :)

Can trees exchange carbon via a wood wide web? Might they communicate through underground fungal networks? Researchers looked at transfer of carbon from trees to nearby fungi. The reality is more nuanced: uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?i…, research New Phytologist: doi.org/nvjx
