I had such fun thinking, reading and writing this Tansley Review on #arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungal mycelia. We need a more fungal-centric view to better understand not only the AM fungi, but also their many ecological roles.

They aren’t fun emails to receive, but I deeply appreciate it when a job I applied for lets me know I’m not being considered anymore. It’s so crazy to me this only happens maybe 10% of the time.

Upstream data need to prove soil carbon as a climate solution - Nature Climate Change
Causal approaches employed at the scale of commercial agriculture are required to build high-quality evidence that climate-smart agricultural interventions result in real emissions reductions and removals. Such project-scale empirical data are additionally required to demonstrate and advance the viability of process-based models and digital measurement, reporting and verification as tools to scale soil carbon accounting.

Got a grant rejection today with some very valuable feedback. Apparently 3 months after a disturbance is too late to start sampling, but anything before a year is too early. I’ll keep that in mind for next time!

Fungal endophytes may not be a reliable way to improve plant resilience to global change. Warmer temperatures disrupt symbiosis between plants and fungal endophytes by reducing fungal colonization and diversity in plant tissues, with stronger effects in leaves than roots.

We need to think more critically in how we use tree mycorrhizal status to predict forest ecosystem function. Important intra-guild variation among ectomycorrhizal trees leads to differences in soil biogeochemistry and organic matter properties.
