11 examples of Mycorrhizal in a sentence
You see, like all networks,
mycorrhizal
networks have nodes and links.
And using our isotope tracers, we have found that mother trees will send their excess carbon through the
mycorrhizal
network to the understory seedlings, and we've associated this with increased seedling survival by four times.
Mother trees colonize their kin with bigger
mycorrhizal
networks.
So we've used isotope tracing to trace carbon moving from an injured mother tree down her trunk into the
mycorrhizal
network and into her neighboring seedlings, not only carbon but also defense signals.
In our recent experiments, we found with patch-cutting and retention of hub trees and regeneration to a diversity of species and genes and genotypes that these
mycorrhizal
networks, they recover really rapidly.
These are the repositories of genes and mother trees and
mycorrhizal
networks.
These connections form
mycorrhizal
networks.
Through
mycorrhizal
networks, fungi can pass resources and signaling molecules between trees.
We know the oldest trees have the largest
mycorrhizal
networks with the most connections to other trees, but these connections are incredibly complicated to trace.
That’s because there are about a hundred species of
mycorrhizal
fungi– and an individual tree might be colonized by dozens of different fungal organisms, each of which connects to a unique set of other trees, which in turn each have their own unique set of fungal associations.
This is one of the mysteries of the
