Project: Symbiotic Solutions for Healthy Agricultural Landscapes

Acronym	SOIL-HEAL (Reference Number: 170)
Duration	05/09/2022 - 04/09/2025
Project Topic	Most plants have coevolved with soil fungi to form root-fungal ("mycorrhizal" symbioses that are critical for regulating numerous ecosystem functions and services. An important feature of mycorrhizal fungi is their ability to form ‘networks’, which (in the broad sense comprise three distinct elements: extra-radical mycelium, common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs, where a fungus links two or more plants, and community-level ‘interaction networks’ among mycorrhizal plant and fungal species. Despite the potential importance of mycorrhizal symbioses in agriculture, our understanding of the ubiquity and function of mycorrhizal fungal networks and their contribution to resilience of agri-ecosystems is remarkably poor.
