Before / after 2 years in the ground for these root & fungal ingrowth cores

Labeling chambers are up and running so these dual-mycorrhizal plants are incorporating 13-CO2 to measure how much they give their fungal mutualists

Celebrating a nice milestone today in the face of a lot of uncertainty around science right now

Fungal endophytes could potentially promote plant resilience to climate change. However, across 3 warming experiments (differing in age/species/climate), warming disrupted plant-fungal endophyte symbiosis, with stronger effects in leaves than roots.
