Listen carefully to the trees... watch closely...

“When we have learned how to listen to trees,

then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts

achieve an incomparable joy.” -- Hermann Hesse

Forest Microbiome & Ecosystem Ecology

Soils are alive. Incredibly diverse forest microbial communities have profound impacts on our world that we are just beginning to grasp. My team studies the forest microbiome. How does incredible microbial diversity affect which trees are in a forest, forest carbon sequestration and climate change forecasts? I focus on the ecology of mycorrhizal fungi - fungi that form a symbiosis with the roots of most plants on Earth – however I am broadly interested in links between microbes and ecosystems.

There's more to forests than meets the eye and ear ...

Go underground, to the roots and web of life connections

Mycorrhizal fungi provide plants with nutrients, water and defense from pathogens in exchange for sugars

This image beautifully displays an ancient symbiosis where fungus and root become one

Flora, Fauna and ... Funga | #Biodiversity ... #Microorganisms

Or, as GreenPolicy360 has written over the decades, pay attention to the 'tiny little ones', nature, unseen and connecting life on earth... pay attention to the #Soil, it's more than dirt! e.g. mycorrhizal fungi

Fungi

Look closely... the relational reality of nature is all around us
