In this episode I’m joined by Professor Ian Dickie and we discuss mycorrhizal fungi, the underground partnerships between fungi and plants that shape nutrient cycling, forest regeneration, invasive species dynamics, and restoration success.
We explore how these hidden fungal networks influence ecosystems, what restoration practitioners should be paying more attention to, and why understanding soil biology may be critical to the future of ecological restoration
