Vast Underground Fungal Networks Mapped Globally for the First Time

A new study by SPUN has mapped the world's arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks, revealing 110 quadrillion kilometers of these vital underground webs. These networks sequester 1 billion tons of carbon annually and are crucial for plant health, but are threatened by agricultural expansion and lack of protection, particularly in grasslands.
