Around 90 percent of plant species form symbiotic trade networks with mycorrhizal fungi, critical for nutrient transfer. Martinez-Suz emphasizes the ubiquity and importance of these fungi.
Planting new forests for carbon sequestration may fail if mycorrhizal networks are disrupted. Research suggests replanted forests experienced no soil carbon stock increase due to altered fungal networks.
Nitrogen pollution poses a threat to mycorrhizal fungi diversity and functions in forests. Martinez-Suz's research explores how polluted regions have less diverse fungi impacting carbon storage.
