Soil-dwelling fungi shape tree diversity through complex underground partnerships, global study reveals

A team co-led by a Purdue University researcher has found that groups of fungi influence global tree species in distinct ways, depending on latitude and aridity. The team's data underscores the importance of mutually beneficial, belowground interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and trees.
