Scientists study how Mycorrhizal Fungi benefit both plants and the climate: "The fungi form symbiotic relationships with most land plants, forming intimate relationships with root systems in which they trade water and nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus for carbon"

The understudied mycorrhizal fungi are vital to ecosystems and may prove critical to the survival of fragile deserts stressed by climate change.

A quick read and good explanation of the relationship between Mycorrhizal Fungi and plants: "They came to a wonderful agreement that if the plant feeds the fungus, the fungus will go out into the soil system and gather nutrients and water"

This invisible network helps grow plants, if you let it, Hackensack gardener Jim Etzel shares.

Healthy soil with Mycorrhizal Fungi allows for proper water management. "These fungi act like a glue, improving the soil structure by forming tiny channels — like little straws — that let water move through easily,"

Rain gardens, like the Red Oak Rain Garden at the University of Illinois Extension, can help alleviate flooding and benefit local ecosystems.

Farmers in the UK are starting to use beneficial Mycorrhizal Fungi instead of chemical sprays to control weeds: "These fungi extend the reach of the tree’s root system, significantly increasing the surface area for nutrient and water absorption that they mine from deeper layers"

Tackling weeds could start below the surface - with smarter soil management offering farmers a chemical-free path to cleaner fields and healthier crops.

"When trees and soil fungi form close associations with each other, both partners benefit. Many tree species have further enhanced this cooperation by forming a concurrent symbiosis with two different groups of mycorrhizal fungi. Those trees cope better with water and nutrient scarcity, which is an important trait for forestry in the face of climate warming."

Less mowing = more growing! Great video from Tanya at Royal City Nursery explaining how to replace your outdated grass lawn with low-maintenance clover.

Low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, and soft underfoot—clover is the lush green upgrade your yard (and the planet) will thank you for.
