If the web were untangled, it would reach a billion times from the earth to the sun. It supplies plants with minerals and transports enormous amounts of CO2 into the soil.
Earth’s underground fungal network may stretch 110 quadrillion kilometers
A living web runs through the soil beneath forests, prairies, marshes, and croplands, linking plants to fungal partners that help feed them, move water, and pull carbon underground. Until now, no one had mapped that web at the scale of the planet. The new analysis, published in Science, offers the first global estimate of the physical reach of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks. This is one of the most widespread partnerships in nature. The …
Drafting/Canton Group Researchers produced the first global map of mycorrhizal fungal networks, an underground infrastructure of 110 billion kilometers that regulates climate and carbon capture. Mexico.- An international team of researchers produced the first global map of what is considered the “circulatory system” of the Earth, a vast network of [...] The post They create the first global map of underground fungi that function as the circulato…
A network of underground fungi sustains the planet's climate balance, although there are more and more signs that something is failing in its functioning. An international team of researchers has drawn up the first global map of what is considered the "circulatory system" of the Earth, a vast network of underground fungi of millions [...] The entrance Mapping the huge network of underground fungi that runs all over the Earth was first published …
