Our maps predicted the steppes of Kazakhstan as hotspots of fungal biodiversity. No samples had been collected to identify which mycorrhizal fungi exist there.

Check out our latest paper on AM fungi, knowledge gaps and @globalgoalsun.bsky.social Sustainable Development Goals... AM fungi might be too small for us to see, but are too important for us to lose! Amazing work led by @thecrobe.bsky.social and @bethanfmanley.bsky.social 👇
Over 70% of Earth's ecoregions have yet to be sampled for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
By analyzing eDNA sample locations, we found most soils are unsampled. Drylands are especially overlooked despite covering almost 1/3 of the Earth's terrestrial land.

SPUN has just released its Underground Atlas, which maps the richness and endemism of mycorrhizal fungi. This incredible tool will aid in defining conservation priorities by incorporating mycorrhizal fungi into the process. I couldn't be prouder to work with the amazing team who put this together!
Who lives underground?
Find out now in our new paper published in @nature.com.
Key finding: 90% of predicted mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas.

What’s happening beneath Patagonia’s changing landscape?
The Patagonian drylands’ native willows are being pushed out by invasive non-native ones—but how do #fungi fit into this story?
